or alternatively, if I cook myself a cake and poison myself, i am responsible.

If you sell me a cake and it poisons me, you are responsible.

So if you sell me a service that comes up with recipes for cakes, and one is poisonous?

I made it. You sold me the tool that “wrote” the recipe. Who’s responsible?

		The seller of the tool is responsible. If they say it can produce recipes, they're responsible for ensuring the recipes it gives someone won't cause harm. This can fall under different categories if it doesn't depending on the laws of the country/state. Willful Negligence, false advertisement, etc. Ianal, but I think this is similar to the red bull wings, monster energy death cases, etc.

Sure, I may be responsible, but you’d still be dead.

I’d prefer to live in a world where people just didn’t go around making poison cakes.
