Americans are also far less into AI than a startup forum like HN will make you believe.

In real life, there are a few AI maniacs that make their entire identity about how they use AI, but it's hardly the sensation that the internet will make you believe. I don't believe there is any difference between the USA and Europe, although the lack of employee protection does mean that it's a lot easier for Americans to lose their jobs when their managers get lured in by AI companies.

After all, the entire AI bubble is all about VCs and startups hyping each other up until profits magically appear.
