    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 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.

    Other search engines use Google for their results. There are very few independent web crawlers.
