Bing is 3.5% of market share in Europe, and Edge is even less.

You're talking about maybe ~1% of search that Bing Chat is practically available to (in Europe).

It's a lot less risky for Microsoft to do what they did than for Google to just open the floodgates in Europe.

I know Google just discovered this AI thing like a few days ago and haven't had the chance to get a product through legal. It's ok, they can take another decade. No biggie.

MS only dared to put it in Bing after OpenAI's dogfood succeeded. If it had started spouting troublesome stuff, MS wouldn't have touched ChatGPT.
