So let me get this straight. You think that Europe "shot itself in the dick" by making it harder to deploy AI that:

- manipulates, including subliminally (hope you'll like your subliminal Ads mixed into your LLM output)

- profiling for social scoring

- automated thread labeling as an individual, with no human supervision

- facetracking databases

- emotional and "well-being" monitoring at work or in schools

- + many other kinds of surveillance tools.

I hope you are joking.

No, all of that stuff is fine (I have read the AI act).

It's all the compliance stuff that will cause issues, particularly in non financial services businesses.

Each EU country will end up badly implementing a national regulator, and these will mostly be bad and stop good stuff from happening.
