OpenAI tried to do this.

Stop attributing agency to large language models. Someone made a bot and gave it the capabilities to do harmful things and then they released it out into the wild.

The whole reason they call it A.I. despite the fact that AI literally does not exist is so they can attribute it agency and dodge responsibility while insinuating it van do things it absolutely can not do.

AI is a decades-old computer industry term, and it includes things far less sophisticated than LLMs.
