Or… Ya know… You could charge them with criminal negligence as their product engaged in illegal hacking from their own corporate “controlled” environment.

“Their product” didn’t engage in shit. It’s a text generator.
The company engaged in illegal hacking. By hooking up a randomized text generator to a Linux terminal with internet access and letting it generate text unsupervised.

My comment specifically implied holding the company liable and responsible…
Legally, for “the company” to engage in hacking someone on payroll would’ve had to intentionally instruct it to do so.
This is an airtight case for gross/criminal negligence, as the company publicly advertises the dangers of these tools, and their capability to be weaponised in cybersecurity, while choosing to operate with extremely lax sandboxing and isolation.
