Google, currently thought of as the AI leader has shown time and time again they will resort to monopolistic practices.

I really hope open source models are the way, but the fact is the vast majority of day to day usage of LLMs is on models owned by multi-bullion dollar companies.

And even if they're not monopolies, people being influenced by companies to this extent should worry people.

It's news to me that Google is the AI leader. Where did you get that information / impression? I'd assumed that if anyone is a leader, it's OpenAI, but even their lead seems pretty tenuous at best.

And people trying shading things doesn't make a monopoly. Especially if there's plenty of competition.
