Aren't you agreeing with him? He pushed the boulder up the hill, thus he is responsible and liable for what happens. He is the author of the work of pushing the boulder up the hill.

In your analogy: He was driving the car, he is liable for the death. He is the author of the work of driving the car.

You are kinda unnecessarily introducing the creation of an object used for the work. Whoever did create the car/boulder is not liable for what happened.

So whoever made the LLM is not the author but the one who used it to create the code.
