"GDPR is not an optional suggestion." No it's some dumb fad. If you are not in Europe just disregard it. You don't have to respect Republic of Peru laws either

  Actually, you have to if you take money from Peruvians and are basically doing business there. Whether you can be reached and punished by a Peruvian court is another issue. Similarly, if your business serves any EU country, you have to respect its laws, and that includes GDPR, whether you like it or not. OpenAI's choice is then to close access to the EU, see its access forcibly shutdown, or comply with local laws. Since the EU is probably a very significant market for them (probably on par with the US), playing dumb is fairly dangerous. On the other hand, the sudden disappearance of ChatGPT in Europe may be what allows a locally grown one to succeed commercially (I doubt OpenAI will remain the only AI service provider forever).

  It's law... you cannot disregard it if you do business there. Feel free to give it a shot and test it out, though. The agency in charge has been having a field day so far, though primarily with the big tech companies - https://www.tessian.com/blog/biggest-gdpr-fines-2020/ https://www.tessian.com/blog/biggest-gdpr-fines-2020/

  Absolutely not. GDPR is applicable any time you process data from someone located in EU (it doesn't matter where the server is located).
