Imagine celebrating that ChatGPT Search has become huge in Europe because it means you can finally regulate it. And no, this isn't a parody account from the EU Commission. They’re serious.

ChatGPT Search now reaches 159 million monthly users in the EU. Europe has failed to build anything remotely comparable.

So the European Commission proudly announces that ChatGPT is now large enough to face even more regulation.

This image perfectly captures European AI policy. If any of you have ever read Franz Kafka’s *The Trial*: this goes far beyond that.
