EDIT: I should also point out something with this response:

\\\"Finally, I must go to the end of Metal Gear Solid 4 and Big Boss\\\' said on them; \\\"In the end they\\\'re only a program. They can only repeat the same patterns over and over again.\\\" He, who suffered the most at the hands of the Patriot\\\'s system, didn\\\'t view them as sentient beings but rather just a program. You say that they have to be self-aware to call humans pawns? Zero programmed them to share his opinion on humans (evidenced by EVA saying he lost faith in humans and by the fact that he does use several people as pawns throughout the entire series) and that they were programmed to treat humans as pawns. Simple as that. \\\"

Except Big Boss\\\'s statement was immediately contradicted by his stating that they overturned Zero\\\'s will and that even Zero did not plan for that possibility. Plus, his views of Humanity may have been shaken, but Big Boss also made it clear in the same sentence that even he would not have intended for the Patriots AIs to have also erased The Boss\\\'s will and views altogether. If they were only capable of repeating themselves as if they were a program, why would they overturn Zero\\\'s plans and craft their own plans? Even with the glitch theory, they\\\'d be back at square one, not removing Zero\\\'s will altogether and crafting a will in their place.
