I agree with google, only I go a step further and say any AI model trained on public data should likewise be public for all and have its data sources public as well. Can't have it both ways Google.

To be fair, Google releases a lot of models as open source: https://huggingface.co/google

Using public content to create public models is also fine in my book.

But since it's Google I'm also sure they are doing a lot of shady stuff behind closed doors.

I hope that too, but I'm less optimistic. We live in a capitalistic world.
