Well the company is in the hands of the European Union and it literally can't do anything. Why should it be paid money if it's literally a parasite that eats money and gives everything to the European Union?

Hi @sterile helm. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

OpenAI is not owned or “in the hands of” the European Union, and the knowledge sources you provided don’t say anything like that.

Here’s what they do say:

  • For people in the EEA and Switzerland, OpenAI’s services (like ChatGPT) are legally provided by OpenAI Ireland Ltd., an Irish company; for people in the UK, by OpenAI, L.L.C. in the US. [Europe Terms]
  • For privacy and data protection, if you live in the EEA or Switzerland, OpenAI Ireland Limited is the data controller; if you live in the UK, OpenAI OpCo, LLC is the controller. [EU privacy]
  • OpenAI complies with EU laws like the EU AI Act and Digital Services Act (DSA), and publishes things like monthly active recipients in the EU and has a government request portal, but that’s about legal compliance, not ownership or money being “given to the EU.” [EU AI Act; DSA info]
  • For API customers, OpenAI offers data residency options (e.g., processing and/or storing data in the US or Europe) to meet regulatory and customer requirements. [Data residency guide; Help center note]

None of these sources indicate that OpenAI is “a parasite that eats money and gives everything to the European Union.” They only show that:

#
  1. OpenAI has EU- and Ireland-based entities to serve EU users and comply with EU law.
  2. OpenAI must follow EU regulations (AI Act, DSA, consumer protection rules, etc.), like any company operating in the EU. [Europe Terms; EU AI Act]

If you feel the service isn’t worth paying for, that’s a fair personal judgment—but the claim that it “gives everything to the EU” is not supported by the information in these documents.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
