Based on how LLMs work, this is impossible. You cannot predict how they work, it's literally based on a combination of random seed and a mostly-unpredictable path walked based on every token of input.
You don't blame a knifemaker for somebody getting cut by a sharp knife. AI is a knife. Very handy, very dangerous. We have to use them safely, that's all there is to it.
> the "industry standards" common in, say, electrical engineering and other disciplines are sorely lacking here
100% agreed. We have ignored SWEng's lack of discipline for too long. Now that the SWEng isn't even a human, we are looking at total catastrophe (on the scale of improperly built buildings falling down on people or catching fire) if we don't adopt a software building code.

If I grossly neglected to maintain live deadly bacteria in my containment facility, am I absolved of blame? Since, you know, the bacteria is the real bad guy who should be put in jail?
