An interesting possibility, but I think that Thoth was out of comission long before the Pfhor invasion. Furthermore, I doubt that the Pfhor even knew that Thoth existed, let alone bothered to shut him off. The Pfhor themselves were a rather primative race who acquired all their technology from others. That they had no form of AI prior to their attack on the Marathon suggests that they never acquired Thoth's technology. Indeed, until Durandal introduced himself to the Pfhor, they probably didn't have a clue as to what AI was.
