I'm honestly kinda surprised that Google is apparently not in fact doing this already and (according to the comments here) continues to not do so.

    They don’t give a shit about what the law or terms say. They’ll just do whatever and if caught pay pennies on the dollar in fines.

    We’ve seen them do this and win time and time again with the google library project and other actions. All the AI companies are training on any and all data they have access to, laws be damned. It’s the MO for any new venture capital / tech project with unlimited profits if someone gets there first.

    It would be par for the course if they just ignored the settings changes when it comes to training their AI on your data, and you're just turning off your access to the AI features instead.
