I believe there is a difference between bad decisions and illegal decisions

This is self evidently true, or I'd be in jail for the relationships I had in my teens.

and what individuals can be held liable for.

To be liable you need to have broken a law. So yes a person, or an AI, can make stupid but legal decisions, for which no legal liability accrues.

Not too sure where you're going with this though

This simply came out of me challenging the assertion in a comment higher up stating that a company still needed a CEO/person to be held liable for what the LLM could do. I didn’t think it was that black and white.

So board of directors are liable if the company itself isnt directly liable is the short answer, directors can hold joint liability along with the company
