No, there's something very specific about keeping them conscious and "living in a dream world." Once again, why would the Architect bother to make a perfect human world for the very first iteration of the Matrix?

The body cannot live without the mind... We have seen cases of people fall into a come for decades and remain alive (through the use of certain machines at times) But for the most part, we cannot live very long at all as vegetables.

Certainly there is a level of appreciation towards mankind as creators but it's probably something along the lines of an agnostic.
