What about Google itself? Store content from billions of websites in your own index without permission and show snippets from those sites to your own users, making yourself into “the source” of all answers when, in reality, it’s all just scraped from other people’s sites? Imagine pitching that idea to copyright lawyers back in 1999.

Using copyrighted material for AI does not provide links back to the original sources, so that’s where it is not covered under the ruling.
