My point of the "who to blame" was not about the author of said code,
but if two or more developers are using the same AI agent and then some
patter of bugs appears that is only with that AI agent, then we know
that the AI agent is likely the culprit and to look for code by other
developers that used that same AI agent.

It's a way to track down a bug in a tool that is creating code, not
about moving blame from a developer to the agent itself.
