Guilt

Ok, several times in the animatrix, the machines are built in the image of humans. SO at 1130 at night, im thinking to myself....wouldnt at least some of the machines feel the least bit guilty about enslaving the entire race? I would assume the AI has emotions, because thats what makes a human human... So you tell me...woudnt some machine have just killed the matrix earlier out of sheer guilt?

possibly, but not necessarily, especially if the matrix was essentially created by the one bot (dont remember the #) who killed the human. "he" prolly started the machine revolution as like a general or sumthin w/a grudge on humans.
