After having used Chat GPT for a while to just check it out, I had decided to not use it due to the high water consumption and me not really needing it for a while. Now that I had discovered the Buy from EU movement and am dual using Reddit and feddit right now, I decided to check out EU made AI solutions and the most promising for me right now is Mistral Le Chat, even though I will probably only use it occasionally just like Chat GPT. I am still glad that I support a european made solution and alternative to not give money, or in this case, revenue from data selling to a literal fascist billionaire...

Does it count as European if it was trained on content ~~stolen~~ "fair used" from all around the world?

Well by this metric nothing counts as made in country or region x,y,z because there is alwqys either some sort of theft or "inspiration" involved. Don't get me wrong, I despise the way these companies basically got around copyright to the disadvantage of the artists and authors making the content, while I am not even allowed to make a copy of what I own or get it someway when it isn't in sale anymore...
