Wait until AGI!

Wait until the sentient robots!
Sentient robots: Yes.
Wait until biological...
Biologics: Glub, glub. Yes.
I mean, it's trained on internet content, and there's probably a lot of articles that say "Google" and "monopoly" in close proximity.
"If you're here about the health advisory that aired on channel six recently, say 'silly ol' advisory.'"
"We aren't a monopoly because we don't just control web search, we also control all this other tech..."
-a matter of legal and economic interpretation
If there's a possible interpretation that a company is a monopoly, they're a monopoly.
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.
Exactly, it's why I don't buy Logitech anymore!
Damn, busted
