You mean the people who create and sell these AIs.

You would blame the hammer or at least the manufacturer if they claimed the hammer can do it al by itself.

This is more a your-car-can-drive-without-supervision-but-it-hit-a-another-car case.

I think the difference is that a hammer manufacturer wouldn’t suggest that the hammer will replace the handyman with its next update.

I wouldn't because I'm not stupid and I know what a hammer is and isn't capable of despite any claims to the contrary.
