It's not a copyright violation if courts have ruled it's not
I have no pay scale to worry about, I own the software I build and don't rely on wages

Courts can't rule aprioi on civil issues. I would not expect the current status quo to count for anything.

Cool. So now everyone with $200 is your competition. It seems like a fools paradise to me.
I'm an anti corporate malfeasance activist.
Hacker News and it's underemployed and underpaid user base gets these two confused all the time. I assure you, your tolerance for language models, or your willingness to use them, will have _zero_ impacts on your pay scale in the coming decade.
Finally you should be aware that Google markets this addition as an "anti fraud" and "anti spam" feature. They should have to justify that, I shouldn't have to justify my expectations as a consumer.
