That's more of a legal convention than a fact about material reality. On their 18th birthday, the child is now legally an adult, but their brain is basically the same as it was when their age was 17.99.

It’s a legal convention born out of a sense of responsibility. An LLM is even “dumber” than a child (precisely because it doesn’t have agency) so its “parents” are even more responsible for its actions.
