That's a huge amount of the reason for AI being used, to obfuscate blame, since it's really the fault of the people who decided AI would be able to make those decisions, but corporations and seemingly states are making an effort to prevent it from ever being interrogated that far.
This isn't a badpost.



about the responsibility-resolving nature of tech in general. AI is an iteration on that. Actual people made all of the decisions, in reality, including the decision to have a hallucination machine go ham on whatever the topic happens to be, but of course as you note people focus instead on the machine itself and forgive it easily as if it is just an objective fact of reality of an oopsie that will be corrected.
