maybe the hammer factory should be held responsible for pumping out so many poorly calibrated hammer

The obvious solution in this scenario is.. to just buy a different hammer.

And in the case of AI, either review its output, or simply don't use it. No one has a gun to your head forcing you to use this product (and poorly at that).

It's quite telling that, even in this basic hypothetical, your first instinct is to gesture vaguely in the direction of governmental action, rather than expect any agency at the level of the individual.

When "individuals" (which is a funny way to refer to the global generative AI zeitgeist currently in full binge-mode that is encouraging and enabling this kind of behavior) refuse to regulate themselves, they have to be encouraged through external pressures to do so. Industry is so far up it's own ass wrt AI that all it can see is shit, there is no chance in hell that they will self-regulate. They gladly and indiscriminately slurp up the digital effluent that is currently sliding out the colon of the generative AI super-organism. And, of course, these "individuals" are more than happy to share the consequences with the rest of the world without sharing too much of the corn that they're digging out of the shit. It does not behoove the rest of the world to not protect it's self-interest, to minimize the consequences of foolish and irresponsible generative AI usage and to make sure it gets it's fare share of the semi-digested golden kernels

No, because this would cost tens of jobs and affect someone's profits, which are sacrosanct. Obviously the market wants exploding hammers, or else people wouldn't buy them. I am very smart.
