Except that companies are not a black box, at every step there is a human making a comprehensible decision (probably with a paper trail). Yes, they dilute accountability to nearly nothing in some cases, but LLMs are sufficiently opaque to claim (ingenuously) that “nobody is responsible”.

In principle yes but in practice even executives who are supposed to have the final responsibility for malfeasance don't actually get prosecuted.

So you're aware of accountability dilution AND the opacity of LLMs making them not responsible for anything, therefore you agree with the point that was made.

I guess your point could be: LLMs are just another level of capitalistic opacity to maximize opacity and dilution of accountability.
