We had a public tender for some 3d model of a railroad project a few years ago, three companies applied and for some reason (corruption) the most expensive one was selected to make the model.

They blamed excel for the bad choice. Excel.

I mean sure, you can always blame the tool, i can blame my cars rear parking sensors when i hit someone when backing up during parking, but come on... at some point, a human is responsible. Someone, some person, decided and greenlit the decision to bomb those places and should now be in jail for that.

I mean, what's next? A building collapses, because the load bearing sections are too weak... do we blame CAD tools now?

Non of the example you’ve falsely equivocated have the word “intelligent“ in them though, do they?

Just keep moving those goalposts while ignoring your cognitive dissonance that seems to reject the fact that humans are ultimately responsible.

Great example, if someone is killed by gunfire, does the gun go to jail or does the shooter (a person) take responsibility?

I’m assuming you’ve never heard that slogan before. Google it. It’s an interesting read.
