It makes way, way more sense in my opinion.

Humans are terrible batteries, but the processing power of our brain on the other hand is amazing.

Based on the FLOPS (Floating point operations per second) today's supercomputer powered by a nuclear power station does not match the processing power of a single brain, powered by a few potatoes.
