If you crush someone’s skull with a hammer, you are responsible, not the person who made the hammer. But what if you crush someone’s skull with a hammer that was sold to you as a head massager?
Sort of. With something as simple as a hammer sure, but when the hammer is equipped with a 9mm pistol then it falls under different safety standards that deem the tool inherently unsafe. A physical tool would be recalled if somebody got hurt in an unintended way.
AI is a tool
Similarly you can’t blame a hammer for causing harm, you blame the individual who holds it.
AI is closer to owning a pet.
If your dog escapes the back yard and kills a child, you dont blame the dog.
You blame the owner who created a poor containment and for giving the dog the right incentives that led to the death
I like your analogy and think it fits better for sure.

In this case open AI was the one wielding the hammer (the AI) though, idk what your argument even is.
Therefore, you blame the person wielding the hammer.
Yup that’s what I was getting at, but I like the pet analogy better that another commenter brought up.
