Is this even new though? Google has always had a stronghold over any public data on the internet. It's a search engine 😄. It's sole purpose is to scrape and store everything it possibly can on the web.

It's not

Previously, Google said the data would be used “for language models,” rather than “AI models,” and where the older policy just mentioned Google Translate, Bard and Cloud AI now make an appearance.

This is mainly just an update to more modern terms, it doesn't really seem like they're adding anything new to their policies.
