Deserves the blame? Absolutely.

Deserves all the blame? No, the LLM Agent (and those who wrote it) deserve some of the blame. If you wrote an agent, and the agent did that, you have a problem, and you should not have turned such an agent loose on unsuspecting users. You have some of the blame. (And yes, absolutely those users also have blame, for giving a vibe coding experiment access to their production database.)

why would the llm share any of the blame? it has no agency. it doesn’t “understand” anything about the meaning of the symbols it produces.

if you go put your car in drive and let it roll down the street.. the car has 0% of the blame for what happened.

this is a full grown educated adult using a tool, and then attempting to deflect blame for the damage caused by blaming the tool.

The LLM isn't to blame.

The human parties on both sides of it share some.

As the meme goes: "A computer can never be held accountable; Therefore a computer must never make a management decision."

As the saying also goes, "To make a mistake is human, but to really fuck things up you need a computer"
