I am either reading the wrong ToS, or not getting it [1]:

    Permission to use your content

    - developing new technologies and services for Google consistent with these terms

The last item sounds like Google can use my content to train an LLM, no?

Do you have a free or paid account? What are the terms for paid accounts?

I had assumed that the GP comment [1] was about both paid and free accounts.
