Not sure if a part of your post got cut off? As framed, it seems rather inflammatory without much direction or practical addition to the conversation. Perhaps I'm missing something.
Nope, nothing got cut. My post stands as I wrote it. It is not ad-hominem and not what-aboutery. It is very much a reasonable question to ask what they use their much-touted AI on and how this relates to the well documented privacy concerns around Google.
IMO they are clearly betting (parts of) the farm on this as can be seen by the (often) ridiculous results many of us have witnessed in both search results quality and ad matching quality.

Nearly everything they do with your data.
