Would you rather have a fleet of 1,000 mice who are as intelligent as a human, or have the ability to make 100 humans as dumb as a mouse

A genie appears in front of you and grants you the option to pick from one of 2 choices:

You will get a fleet of 1,000 white mice who are as intelligent as a human being, equivalent knowledge of someone who has completed highschool but the wisdom of a 30 year old. You can teach them more things to increase their knowledge. They will live for 45 years in peak health, or die when you die, whichever is earlier. They obey you like an employee obeys their boss, so they aren't mindless slaves either. However they will never mutiny or attack you.

All the costs of taking care of them and hiring a teacher (1 teacher for every 50 mice) for them (if you want to do that) will be covered by the genie. You okay get enough to hire one teacher per 50 mice at a time; if you want to hire more you need to fund that yourself. You can also teach them yourself or use free resources for free.

ALTERNATIVELY;

You get the magic power to make any 100 humans currently alive as stupid as a real mouse. You get all the time in the world to choose your 100 humans, but it is irreversible, permanent, and once you get down to zero, that's it, you don't get anymore.

You have to say, write or type down their names as well as "murid" to make it work, so you can still talk/write about a person without activating the power by mistake. The power cannot be used on yourself, and it cannot be transferred to anyone else. If you die before you've used your 100, then the remaining balance is wasted.
