Or to be upstanding, ethical companies that they are. Just put disclaimer after every prompt response and on their website "AI generated code has no absolutely no guarantee of quality or correctness. Human prompter must be held accountable for any mistake or inaccuracies."

Hope it wouldn't be too much bother to these important companies.

See, but that would counter act all of their marketing and hurt the feelings of all the execs that desperately want to believe that software development is "solved" and in the near future they won't have to hire those expensive, pesky developers ever again.
Two trends I see at work:

1) No more human written code in projects, all code must be AI generated.

2) Developers are responsible for all code AI generated.

Combine that with fear of losing job and you have no one calling out management bullshit on their face.
