Do you blame the hammer for bending the nail, or the person driving it? AI is nothing more than a tool being used by people.

When my internet goes down, I blame either my ISP for having an outage, or the manufacturer of my router (assuming it's a router issue? Haven't had that happen personally but I'm certain it exists) (Or i did something dumb with my ufw again but that's on me)

If you create an autonomous system and it fails, blame should be on you, imo.

The word is still 'blame', it just needs to be applied correctly.

Humans are autonomous systems created by other humans. Yet, at some point, we stop blaming parents for the actions of their children.

LLMs aren’t there yet, but they might get there. My point is that your descriptions fail to capture when or why exactly the blame would shift.
