I thought I remembered seeing that the reason for the retcon didn't come from the Wachowskis but from a studio note
The sequels made me angry by not addressing that mistake. Animatrix even gave an explanation that the ai "treasured intelligence". Then it doubled down on the "humans are an endless supply of energy" mistake.
IMO the best explanation would have been that we put ourselves into the matrix and the AI created it following our rules.
I think top comment is a reference of some kind.
I heard something similar; the studio didn't think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to "battery". Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.
It's weird they'd think computer terms would cause the movie to lose popularity. Computers were hugely popular at the time of its release.
