April Fools' Day Four Days Late? Google Objects to OpenAI Using YouTube to Train Its Own Generator

Somehow, it actually seems like a farcical April Fools' Day headline, in fact.  Google, with its deep history of scraping and scanning other sources' substantive content for its own uses, now objects to OpenAI using YouTube content to train its text-to-video generator:
