Why is it my job to train the machines?

AI is a tool. If it doesn't work I'm not going to fix the tool; I'd rather find another tool that can do the job.

I understand that people don't like it that this will give Google an advantage. But what is the proper alternative? We have no non-profit organizations who could muster the money to build these systems. I suppose those who are critical of large companies would also be critical of governments building these systems.

So is what you (downvoters) propose here to just complain and do nothing about it? I'd be curious to hear what alternatives you propose.
