Business owner claims Gemini scraped his price list and attributed it to rival ads

A sole-proprietor gutter contractor says Gemini summaries scraped his unique public price list and attributed it to four competitors' paid ads, including exact prices and home-configuration descriptions. He believes Google AI scrapes non-paying organic results and attributes the text to paying advertisers, claims he got Gemini to admit it via pointed questioning, and says he'll seek compensation and publish the chat log. All claims are one-sided so far, with no Google response or independent verification.
