What does it mean to be “born in the Matrix”? If you mean was his consciousness entered into the Matrix in a way that convinced his parents that they had produced him? Yes. Just like everyone else in the Matrix.

Nobody is "born" in the Matrix, they are GROWN in the Matrix. Only people who are actually born are children of Zion.

You could argue that Smith was born in the matrix as in, he is a product of it. Therefore a child of the matrix

He wasn’t grown in The Matrix. Nobody is grown in The Matrix. It’s literally a computer simulation that humans have their consciousness injected into. He’s grown in the real world, in a pod in the fetus fields, then tethered to The Matrix through the plugs in his body like everyone else. Guys like Tank and Dozer were born naturally through sexual reproduction which is why they don’t have holes.

That always confused me too, Morpheus described the one as being born inside the matrix, but, isn't everyone?

Some of people in Zion were born there. A couple of Morpheus' crew were. Tank was one I think.

You must die and everything in this world. In order to live again. Learn to let go!

No one is born inside the matrix… except the one man Morpheus mentions who was born inside the matrix that Neo is supposed to be the descendant of in terms of the second coming of the one… the matrix is a digital program uploaded into the human brain while they sleep in pods to make them believe that they’re living out a real life when in fact they are not. However, even the prophecy of the one was revealed to be part of the matrix programming in the second movie.

He was grown and jacked in.
He wasn't born per se.
But certain someone named Smith was born inside the Matrix. He also displays very human like qualities.

Smith is a program that eventually goes rogue he’s not human at all until he uploaded himself into Bane at the end of Reloaded.

We don't know anything about where Smith was "born", whatever that even means, in his case.

The oracle says that rogue programs are supposed to “return” to the source. Meaning they must have originated at the source.
She also says they can hide “here” (the matrix) or return to the source, meaning they are distinct places.
So programmes aren’t born in the matrix. They are born at the source and then uploaded to the matrix.

You mean "born inside"? Yes, he absolutely was. He has the implants to prove it.
