When I am chatting with ChatGPT - it is fairly obvious that it is American - its native language, its style, its attitude is American - even if we chat in Danish. Just as we cannot rely on Netflix and HBO to produce Scandinavian TV-shows even though they might do at the moment, we need to make our own stuff in this area too. And over time, the technology to do this will become cheap and readily available for us to do so.

My guess is that things are going to become more and more American. If you assume that "culture" is a resource like "microchips", then from economic point of view it makes sense to have one country specialize in producing it, and the rest just consume. This is why when you turn on the main radio station of a random country, you're so likely to hit American music.

  'Only one country should export culture, for economic efficiency' is the kind of take that the Norweigians (and everyone else) would like to protect themselves from.

Yes, it requires pushing against the economics. But you have to do that if you believe that culture has any value per se at all.

    Which is already changing thanks to the American influence.

I chat to it in English instead of my native Spanish not only because of performance, but because I cannot stand the unnatural style it has in Spanish.
