I'm being increasingly convinced that when we do develop true AI, it'll actually be just a massive array of interconnected human brains in a secret facility somewhere.

Someday, that's what we'll be sold as "The Singularity". Some company like Apple or Google will offer us ascendance into the cloud, but we'll actually just become digital slave labor.

Plot twist, the future envisioned in the matrix basically does come to pass, except it's not machines turning humans into power, it's the ultra rich turning humans into processing power.

thats the repair station on enterprise, the AI was using kidnapped humanoids brains to power its processing capabilities.

So essentially, wouldn’t that be similar to the Matrix movie? Except without the sea of pillars of bodies lined up and down in a cocoon sludge of goop. Connected by wires to feed off of our energy as a source of elixir. But a basement somewhere where we are jacked into a reality to where we can’t distinguish it between reality and virtual reality. I can definitely see that. The future is crazy for sure and how far we have reached with AI is bloody scary and horrific. Like not itself but in the progression aspect of it.

repair station in enterprise, where the AI maliciously kidnapps humanoid aliens and uses thier brains to power ever increasing cpu

I was thinking more like Psycho Pass. The AI is its own entity, living in reality, doing the AI things that it was made to do, it's just its processing power is a bunch of human brains linked together.

Oh I see, that makes sense. I honestly need to do re run on Psycho Pass and refresh my memory. Because having a bunch of human brains linked together as a mother board is wild.

It is incredibly wild. That show was awesome.
