Maybe the end-user isn't Google Maps, but TomTom have a pretty comprehensive street-view-ish product for private buyers like car companies, Bing and Apple Maps called MoMa. I'd be surprised if this building[0] wasn't included in their dataset from every road-side angle possible, alongside every piece of locational metadata imaginable, and I'd be surprised if that dataset hasn't made it into OpenAI's training data - especially when TomTom's relationship to Microsoft, and Microsoft's relationship to OpenAI, is taken into account.
