but this simply isn't true. As I noted,

> This is simply false ... AIs can easily be created that do things by themselves. For instance, a harness could be constructed that asks an LLM for something to do, then directs an agent to do it, and then repeat.

Assigning responsibility is a completely different matter. It's bizarre that you can't separate them ... I suspect religion is involved.
