Neural networks and statistical word prediction algorithms are a 1960s tech.

May be true but I don't think they had nearly enough RAM those days

The tech progress was suspiciously consistent. The moore law held still for 50 years, which is not a law of the universe but just a hunch that guy had.

I think they hit the physical limits of processing units back in 1970s, but kept slow rolling the releases for the public to control the adoption of technology.

We as public consumers are only now (around 2018) getting to the physical limits of how small transistors can be.

Yeah, I had AI books as a kid I bought from a used book store about programming some word predicition models in LISP (which is an all but dead language now to my knowledge, though it would be funny to see it make a comeback because it has more parenthesis than a rabbinical convention) that were probably written in the 90s. The only thing thats changed is that we have better graphics cards to run the AI at reasonable speed. I guarantee governments had the tech to run a convincing enough chatbot to shape social media in the early 2000s.
