🤯 Google’s Sneaky AI Moves 

So, Google has this thing where publishers can opt out of having their content used to train AI models, right?

Well, recently, we found out that while that seems to apply to Google's DeepMind team, it doesn’t stop other teams—like Search—from using the same content to train their own AI tools.

And guess what?

This came out in court on Friday when a Google VP, Eli Collins spilled the beans.

And, honestly, publishers aren’t happy about it.

Here’s what’s really been going on behind the scenes:

Turns out, even though publishers can opt out of having their content used to train Google’s AI, that “opt-out” doesn’t really cover everything.

Specifically, it only applies to Google DeepMind, the research lab behind the AI tech.

But when it comes to Google’s Search team, they’re free to use that same content to train their AI for features like AI Overviews—you know, those little boxes that show answers right at the top of search results.

But here’s the problem: 

Those AI-generated answers you see at the top of your Google searches? They’re built using content from all over the web—including the stuff from those “opted-out” sites.

And because those summaries are front and center, people are getting their answers straight from Google without ever clicking on the actual websites.

Which means publishers who thought they were off the hook are now losing clicks.

And fewer clicks = less revenue. So, not only is Google using their content anyway, it’s also kinda killing their traffic and revenue in the process.

Honestly, it’s a bit like lending someone your favorite book, only to find out they made a “summary” of it, slapped their name on the cover, and now no one’s reading your original.

And get this: Publishers can only decline having their data used in search AI if they opt out of being indexed for search, Google clarified.

In short, Google says they respect opt-outs, but when it comes to training their AI for search, they’re basically like, “Thanks for the data, but we’re still gonna use it.”

So where does this leave the publishers?

Well, that’s a whole new headache, and we can totally see a lawsuit coming, one after another.

Really, both Google and the publishers are about to go at it in a full-blown battle.

Here are the full details of what went down in court on Friday.

 🦾 How to Pick the Perfect OpenAI Model for Your Needs

If you've been scratching your head wondering which OpenAI model to choose, good news—they’ve just dropped a guide to make things crystal clear.

Yep, they quietly posted an article titled "ChatGPT Enterprise - Models & Limits" on May 3rd, where they broke down the five models on offer and gave us the lowdown on which one to use and when.

And while it's mainly geared toward businesses, regular users like us can totally benefit from it too.

So, let’s talk about the 5 models you need to know about:

• GPT-4o: This is the “omni model”—the one you want for real-time info. Think of it as your all-in-one Swiss Army knife—perfect for brainstorming, summarizing content, drafting emails, and much more. Plus, it’s multimodal, which means you can dive into custom GPTs, image generation, audio, and even data analysis. Basically, it does everything—and then some.

• GPT-4.5: If you’re looking for a bit more flair, creativity, and emotional intelligence, GPT-4.5 is your go-to. It’s got that extra creative touch, especially for brainstorming or unlocking those “out-of-the-box” ideas. If you're not just looking to get things done but want to feel something along the way, this is your model.

And about the mini models?

Things get a little more specialized here. OpenAI’s mini models are great at handling specific tasks, each with its own sweet spot.

Here’s what they’re about:

• o4-mini: This one's the cost efficient fast runner. If you’re all about quick technical tasks like programming, STEM-related queries, or just something that needs to be done fast and snappy—o4-mini is your buddy.

• o4-mini-high: This is the overachiever. If you’re deep into complex coding, advanced math, or scientific explanations that require high accuracy, o4-mini-high is your best friend. In fact, it’s the “high-end” version of the o4-mini family!

• o3: Here’s where the heavy lifting happens. If you’re tackling complex, multi-step tasks like strategic planning, massive coding projects, advanced math, deep science, or analyzing big data sets, o3 is your all-star model for the job. It's perfect for when you need careful planning and detailed, heavy-duty brain work.

Oh, and here’s the catch:

You’ll need the $20 ChatGPT Plus plan to unlock all these models. But once you’re in, the options are there for the taking.

• For quick tasks? Go mini.

• For creativity and emotional depth? GPT-4.5 has your back.

• For complex, multi-step problems? o3 is the heavy hitter.

Now it’s all clearer, right?

Go ahead, pick the right model that fits the job!
