The interesting thing about AI v. other disruptive technologies (like the internet, steam engine, etc), is that AI has been personified both by the manufacturers of it (Anthropic being the most blatant by using a human name for its product) and users.

That makes it way more likely that people blame AI (doesn't make it right by any means, but does mean that the actual blame gets diffused even more).

>You can't 'blame' the AI, as it can't be held accountable.

Seems like more of a semantic distinction IMO. Yes, I can't technically "blame" the AI because it's not accountable. But what word would you suggest for "I had [X technology] handle [Y task] and it failed to perform that task?" I can't "blame" my router if I lose internet and it prevents me from jumping on a Zoom call, but it's also true that the router failed to do the thing it was supposed to do.

Though your statements are generally true today, I wonder if I can put a bet somewhere about how long it takes until somebody "fixes that problem."
