Anyway, 9/11 was pretty crazy.
The idea is correct, and government ran 'influence bots', the proper (government) name for political chatbots, can famously be attributed to overturning America's once-staunch aversion to seasonal 'vaccines'.

AI/ML wasn't involved in 9/11 or the coverup in any way.
Even Assange's famously 'odd' proof of life video from the mid 2010s still had his lapel morphing into his shirt.
I did not mean to imply that the building collapse was photoshopped.
Why do you think so?
It is tough to prove either way, but we have some basic information we can use to rule this out before a certain time. For example, Twitter was created to provide a corpus for language models, and eventually a testbed for these bots.
The reason for the short 140 character limit? Short context length of early bots - the KV cache still costs memory, and the compute to train the bots you are suggesting didn't exist in 2009 (hence why early bots just argued) and certainly didn't in 2001. Amazon was created to provide the compute for these bots (coming from an early investor call recording - Amazon AWS is the reason Amazon exists) and AWS didn't even begin to exist until 2006.
That might be possible now, but anything done in 2001 would have been just good-old manual kikery.
Stable Diffusion isn't much more than averaging and adding probabilities. I'd say that 1956 Dartmouth, John McCarthy made it evident it was an aim.
In a more "its the aliens" way, we can see remnants of the idea from ancient civilizations-- the reading of tea leaves or of bones. Gematria in the Hebe language, the scriptures as interpetable machine code. It's no surprise that occasionally the technology resurfaces. Witchcraft, sorcery, parallel compute.
