If OpenAI training on youtube videos violates copyright then so does Google training on them.

In what possible way is that true? Not that I like it, but google has its creators sign away the rights to their material for uses like this. Nobody signs a contract with openai when they make their youtube videos.
When you sign away full rights to one company, that one company can give rights to another company (for money or not).

They could also just acquire that other company.

From the creator's standpoint, signing away rights to one company is as good as gone.

Did openai make a deal with google to train on youtube?
