Is Apple Insight avoiding YouTube, however, significant?

When interviewed by Proofnews, Dave Farina, the presenter of “Professor Dave Explains,” expressed his views: “If you are benefiting from my labor [in product development] which could lead to my unemployment or that of others, then there should be a discussion on compensation or some form of regulation.”

The focus on YouTube data somewhat diverts attention from the crucial argument that the generative AI (genAI) tools now widely used are likely trained on data created by humans and shared online. This type of data is collected by webcrawlers, including those used by Apple.

However, the concern here lies in the quality of the data, and the pursuit of the finest data implies that the top data sources serve as the most potent fuel for training AI.
