I can't tell if you're serious.

Not only did Google not "force" anyone to use the LLM tech that they largely developed, most people think they're silly for inventing it and then sitting on their hands until another company (OpenAI) ate their lunch.

The anti-trust case isn't about Google's LLM business.
