It's a questionable lawsuit. The problem here is that Google claims immunity on being a platform. "It's not use doing the trademark infringement, it's General-ScamCo" And as it stands right now, US law is quite favo

That's the point. The dirty secret of a lot of AI is that they rush out a hotfix for any such issues that pop up, and then just insist the issue was fake. "You can't replicate the issue, our AI is flawless, DO NOT LOOK AT THE
