The intent of the machine maker has no bearing on the responsibility!

Yeah! When a lawyer uses AI to write a brief and the AI just makes stuff up and the lawyer submits it without confirmation the judge should sanction the AI creator, not the lawyer!

That is a misleading argument. The judge rejects the pleading, the client can sue the lawyer and the lawyer has no recourse as the AI model comes with a warning that it may make things up, please check all answers.
However, if the AI is sold as an incredibly effective tool to increase productivity, implying that no checks are needed, but in actual use occasionally kills someone, both the user and the AI tool maker are responsible.
In case of coding, for example, no productivity increase can be had if quality control with possible bug fixes are required. In my opinion AI is vastly being oversold.
