Reply to comment by neilk in ELI5: Why do computers need GPUs (integrated or external)? What information is the CPU sending to the GPU that it can't just send to a display? by WeirdGamerAidan
Another analogy I've seen. Mythbusters explained the difference by making a painting with paintball guns. A CPU is like shooting the same gun 1000 times, but a GPU is like shooting 1000 guns all at once

Oh my god, that's actually a genius analogy, it's as close to real life as you can get without details
