But not needing to know what you're doing as far as programming goes != not needing to know what you're doing as far as compliance/legal responsibility goes. Someone using a tool like this still needs to run their operation in a sane manner. Like, how much responsibility does Loveable shoulder here? We don't blame a car manufacturer for most car crashes. They, of course, try to design their cars to be as safe as possible, but the fact that they endeavor to make a safe car doesn't make it explicitly their fault if I'm driving blindfolded and careen off a cliff.

This is something that makes me roll my eyes... seeing people online talking about how everyone can just make their own version of w/e software now. As though running a software business is simply a matter making the computer screen light up in a particular way.
