The strongman pulling a truck represents your CPU - powerful but working alone, handling one big task at a time. Meanwhile, the GPU is like those dozens of people working together to pull an airplane - individually weaker but massively parallel.

After 15 years in tech, I've watched countless developers throw CPU cores at problems that scream for GPU parallelization. It's like watching someone use a sledgehammer to hang a picture frame.
