No, it starts much earlier.

They should not have given a next token predictor unsupervised Internet access, regardless of what the marketing might have told them about its capabilities or alignment.

Don't use technology you do not understand in ways that might bring harm to others. Exercise appropriate caution.

I don't think the guy itself is fully to blame though. Our whole culture has rotted quite significantly.

I think that marketing teams should be blamed for lies and exaggerations much more then people who trusted them. As is now, everything is too much biased toward the biggest liar out there.
