That's ok. How could they know that there are companies like Aleph Alpha, Helsing or the famous DeepL. European companies are not that vocal, but that doesn't mean they aren't making progress in the field.
That's such a silly argument. X, OpenAI and others have large Saudi investments. In the grant scheme of things the US is largely indebted to China and Japan.
I honestly think it is.
The amount of people who thinks Europe and EU are the same thing is really concerning.
And no, it's not only americans. I keep hearing this thing from people living in Europe as well (or better, in the EU).

London is not part of Europe anymore since Brexit /s
Is it so hard for people to understand that Europe is a continent, EU is a federation of European countries, and the two are not the same?
Europe isn't even a continent and has no real definition (none that would make any sense, anyway), so the whole thing is confusing by design
