Googles business model is selling manipulation as a service.
The idea that google is doing all this work on AI to make the bait through which they collect your data more attractive but won't then use AI technology to make their _core sellable service_ better for their paying customers is weird.
Of course they will do machine learning to provide an 'optimal price API' so businesses can gouge you more effectively.
Of course they will do machine learning to find recovering alcoholics to target your booze more effectively.
This type of thing is Googles reason to exist and since we're all so cheerful about unconstrained capital if they don't do it someone else will.
