To take an example from the past month, billions of users are now benefiting from more accurate weather forecasts from their new model. Is there another company making more money from AI-powered products than Google right now?

Microsoft? In the sense that OpenAI is "paying" them... through MS's own investment.
It's a very fuzzy question I posed. For pure customer-pays-for-AI-service it could be Microsoft. I'm kind of thinking of it as: Google's core products (search, ads, YouTube, Gmail) would not be possible with AI and they are huge cash cows.
Are there people paying for Google's weather predictions?
Only indirectly, but I wanted to point out that there are a lot of interesting research innovations that get implemented by Google and not some other company.
Or, well, like many companies; all the peons doing the actual work, creation etc and the executives and investors profiting at the top. All it takes is to be lucky to be born into generational wealth apparently.
