> I think we need to draw a hard line in the sand over this.

Intended or not, this is kinda punny lol.

That aside, I agree.

Even if people do anthropomorphize AI, all you have to do is shift the analogy slightly.

If I take my service animal out in public without a leash/harness knowing that it's capable of harming a person or doing damage to property, not trained to be perfectly obedient, and doesn't comprehend fundamental human morals, if that animal decides to trash a businesses property or maul another person, there's no question that the owner of the animal should be held accountable for those actions.
