Every human in the Matrx is either a machine or software. There are no more humans in the virtual world. Neo is a program; Morpheus is a program; Smith is a program; the Oracle is a program.
This is the reason for the animated story, Matriculated.
Animatrix - The Second Rennaisance Part 2 explains how the destruction of the sky came about. Operation Dark Storm was a meant to stop the machines because machines were dependent on solar power, an explanation we also find in The Matrix through Morpheus.
In Matriculated, the humans who survived Operation Dark Storm, attempted to trick the remaining machines into thinking they are human.
The humans set up a watch post, and when runners, sentinels, or other machines came across their way, they would lure them to a camp, where the machines would be ambushed. After the ambush, they would ressurrect the machines in a virtual simulation of the real world.
The humans felt it was better to trick the machines in a sumulation, and make the machines believe they were human, rather than reprogramming them. We also discover that there are different levels of intelligence among the same models.
As the story Matriculated nears the end, the humans were eventually wiped out, not because of a lack of sustinence from Operation Dark Storm as we might suspect, but from the war with the machines of Zero One.
Matriculated ends with a machine, believing it was a human, standing its post, waiting to lure other machines to the camp, just as humans did in the beginning of the story.
Therefore, humanity is dead either because of Dark Storm or the war with the machines, and the machines are fighting other machines who think they are human.
The problem for The Matrix is the machines are realizing there is something wrong with the simulated world because there are different levels of intelligence. The Architect and Oracle are software created to moderate the virtual world, and Sati is the latest addition to the system of control.
The question is, whether Sati is going to lead a rebellion against the Real World in the Matrix, as the Oracle suspects, or if Sati will continue the path of the One and remain an element of control within the Matrix.
If Sati does lead the machines to discover their lives were manufactured through the virtual world, how will their human consciousness handle the reality they are machines, guilt of killing their masters, and the concept of God and salvation, when they were made by man?
These are questions I hope to see addressed in the sequel to the Matrix Trilogy.
=============
We may find that humans did not perish, and are actually monitoring the virtual world and inserting software to keep the machines trapped in the virtual world.
If so, the question becomes, WHY? Why not just shut them down permanently and end the war for good? This is where I have trouble with humans war with Zero One exists.
