So could a bug introduced by a human being. What's the difference?

Accountability is the difference.

An LLM is just an agent. The principal is held accountable. There’s nothing really all that novel here from a liability perspective.

That was my point exactly. I just didn’t write it as precisely as you.

		Then I don’t understand. My point was that it doesn’t matter whether the machine or the human actually wrote the code; liability for any injury ultimately remains with the human that put the agent to work. Similarly, if a developer at a company wrote code that injured you, and she wrote that code at the direction of the company, you don’t sue the developer, you sue the company.

How much would a bug from a human cost?

		I’d be willing to bet the classes of bugs introduced would be different for humans vs LLMs. You’d probably see fewer low level bugs (such as off-by-one bugs), but more cases where the business logic is incorrect or other higher concerns are incorrect.
