What bothers me about some of these larger tech companies (especially Google) is that they patronize non-expert users. For instance, Google is getting a steep discount on very high quality machine learning training data and pretends to be oblivious to this in the public eye. Google builds its image recognition algorithm using Google Photos, Google trains its driving algorithms using Google Maps, Google trains its NLP algorithms using Google Home. None of this is explicitly told to its "free" users. I'm starting to think the training data I'm providing is worth more than what I am receiving (free photo storage, traffic info, voice controls). Side note: Elon Musk recognizes the advantages these big tech companies have in this area which is why OpenAI exists. It's not some altruistic endeavor - it's Elon trying to catch up to the big boys or bring them down to his level with Government regulation and/or spreading FUD.
