I don’t see anything wrong with these companies using YouTube content to train AI in a sense. I think the creators of the videos should be fairly compensated and their permission should be sought, but I don’t think of Google/Alphabet in that way. Sorry but even if Google runs the YouTube platform, I just don’t think they ethically or morally have an exclusive right to the content the world creates, just because they have various monopolies that are immune to competition due to anti-competitive moves and the power of network effects. As far as I am concerned they are a utility service that needs to be heavily regulated.
