How are you going to figure that out? You can’t capture an agent in a jar and convince it to confess. As we saw with the HF incident, even highly sophisticated actors need a good chunk of time and manpower to trace these things. And I suspect the folks who are going to have the most success with LLM-powered cybercrime are going to know how to cover their tracks reasonably well.

"Ghost guns" exist, too, but we still try to prosecute reckless use of firearms to the extent possible.

Difference there is you need a physical body firing the ghost gun. There can be witnesses who saw a shooter, you can look at cameras to track their physical location, and if they discard the weapon they leave fingerprints.

Someone (or some group) made the thing. I can't just create a bomb and leave it alone and when it goes off blame the bomb.

That's nothing to do with AI though. Attributing cyber attacks is hard. We know this and people have experience doing it.
