I know little about law but can we use the word 'attack' for this given that these people pay for these model outputs. Is the output not my property? Does Google have rights to any code Gemini gives me?

Are these AI companies trying to assert a right to choose what I do with content that I paid for?

I don't think I want to live in a world where three Big Corps decide my access to frontier artificial intelligence, and also what I do with the results of my interaction with it.

Honestly, given every executive at these companies is always talking about "distributing intelligence to benefit all humanity", why try to restrict efforts at said distribution?
