diode cascade

#1
Has anyone here ever chatted about a diode cascade? I asked ChatGPT a bit about it yesterday and got some interesting answers.
The voltage at the output increases while maintaining the same input-output current. Since P=U*I, theoretically, a higher power output is possible at the output compared to the input. With a stepped cascade of 12V 12mA input, one could achieve several watts of gain.

Have I overlooked something?


ChatGPT Part:
The voltage at the output increases while maintaining the same input current. Since P=U*I, theoretically, a higher power output would be possible at the output compared to the input. With a stepped cascade of 12V 12mA input, one could achieve several watts of gain.
If energy from the surroundings is introduced into the system, similar to how a heat pump works, this could explain the increased power output.
