Originally the machines were going to use human brains for processing, but apparently the explanation was deemed too technical, so they changed it to some mumbo jumbo about power, which also let them use the nickname Coppertop.
That is even better. Making humans into some perpetual energy machine seemed silly. If you are going to break a fundamental law of physics, why not use animals. At least they won’t fight back.
Feeding incubated humans to produce more energy than what is inputted.
Couldn’t they just suggest the computer overlord prime directive was hard-coded to keep humans alive at whatever cost?
