Neo only ever hears the cover story (and reference to "copper top") from
Morpheus and his band of merry mass murderers. Perhaps it isn't an AI cover
story at all, but some misinformation being propogated by the
revolutionaries.
As has been speculated elsewhere, perhaps most people voluntarily entered
the Matrix and chose to forget the real world (as the traitor tried to do),
but Morpheus's crowd can't abide that. So the Agents are the caretakers,
rather than the bad guys.
