The thing that really gets to me about this situation and others like it (the whole genre of “ai did a bad thing) is that it’s always the people who claim to be most afraid of ai who are the quickest to absolve humans of responsibility and assign it to AI.

The ability to be assigned blame, and for that to be meaningful, is a huge part of being human! That’s what separates us from the bots. Don’t take that away from us.

But that seems entirely consistent? A tool isn't nearly as scary as an alien lifeform.
