Does ChatGPT just copy content and resell it? If it were that simple then there wouldn't be much debate and existing copyright law would be sufficient to settle the question. Also, whether or not Google is mutualistically benefiting everyone is not sufficient to answer the question of whether Google or OpenAI are violating copyright protections.
But yes the crux of it is financial and not algorithmic. Google ALSO uses AI. If google took sentences from 2 different web pages and stitched them together to form a paragraph, is that AI or search? [see google BERT]. What if they stitched together 3000 word-parts? What if they took sentences from 15 web pages, ranked them, and that's your view? See, it's all the same thing. openAI stitches together word-parts, by comparison.
Now when I say it's financial, when said information is presented, google gladly gives a hit to the site +/- add revenue if present. openAI does not do this. If openAI figured out how to do this then we'd be cooking with some gas.
> Also, whether or not Google is mutualistically benefiting everyone ...
Google arbitrarily chooses which sites to show on the search page, which may have nothing to do with relevance of the actual topic being searched. Only certain sites which google thinks should be at the top are at the top.
If google decides to blacklist you for whatever reason... well tough.
