I can understand this to some degree, but I largely disagree.

AI is a tool. The user of the tool should be the one that carries responsibility. I don't have the stats, but I imagine that most jobs that relied on hand tools suffered more injury when power tools were introduced, but again, it's up to the person using the tool to use it responsibly.

Granted, thats not a perfect analogy because AI definitely doesn't present the same marked improvements as power tools, but the responsibility of the user doesn't change.

    The power tools are faulty, and they're being forced to use them. You're assuming the people using the AI have the power to reject what the AI says. I'm not sure that's true.

    Now that they're personally liable for what it outputs, they definitely can. Your boss can't force you to break the law.

    I love how the AI booster narrative for using it shifted so quickly from "buh it it will make medicine better!" to "it's the doctor's fault when it fails!"

    Or maybe that's the point. Heap unwarranted praise at the feet of the AI corpos, shift all externalities and blame onto the victims.
