Depends on what "decision" means. If I say, "Claude, compile a list of 1000 buildings to blow up," and then skim the output briefly and then press the red button, I wouldn't say Claude "decided" anything.

Of course it did! Among hundreds of thousands it decided those 1000 are the ones to blow up! No matter how we twist the meaning of “decision”.

If someone made a table of one hundred potential targets and rolled ten ten sided dice to pick a row to target, do we blame the decision on the dice, the table, Wizards of the Coast, or the person who decided this was a good way to choose targets?

		You’re conflating who chooses the decision maker with the decision making device. So AI’s output is not so different than a roll of dice? Definitely the people who decided to put in such an incapable and unreliable tool should be held accountable. No dispute in that.

Who decided to bomb places? AI? Who decided to pick a fight? AI?

We had a public tender for some 3d model of a railroad project a few years ago, three companies applied and for some reason (corruption) the most expensive one was selected to make the model.

They blamed excel for the bad choice. Excel.

I mean sure, you can always blame the tool, i can blame my cars rear parking sensors when i hit someone when backing up during parking, but come on... at some point, a human is responsible. Someone, some person, decided and greenlit the decision to bomb those places and should now be in jail for that.

I mean, what's next? A building collapses, because the load bearing sections are too weak... do we blame CAD tools now?

Non of the example you’ve falsely equivocated have the word “intelligent“ in them though, do they?

Just keep moving those goalposts while ignoring your cognitive dissonance that seems to reject the fact that humans are ultimately responsible.

Ah you must be one of those "Guns don't kill people, people kill people".

		Great example, if someone is killed by gunfire, does the gun go to jail or does the shooter (a person) take responsibility?

Then you suddenly realize you outsourced your thinking to Claude, because it's tiresome to think by yourself.

		The decision to blow up 1000 buildings, without any background check wasn't done by claude.
