    I mean, it’s trained on internet content, and there’s probably a lot of articles that say “Google” and “monopoly” in close proximity.

      I agree on the merits, but the contrarian in me has to point out that any company is a monopoly through some convoluted interpretation. For example: Logitech has a monopoly on mice and keyboards that work with their proprietary software.
