Why they are not suing Alphabet/Google?

Their video and image generators are best in whole industry. Do they really think they were not trained on YouTube content? It looks as if they are Google’s shills, since they are not attacking platform provider.

Btw, YouTube already does ugly AI upscaling for all Shorts. It is especially noticeable in clips of old movies where natural film noise was removed and video looks so oversharpened as if it was shot with Google Pixel or iPhone
Maybe the Google/YouTube TOS gives them permission.
