I have shown this to ChatGPT and here is what it thinks about this:

The meme is funny because it captures the bureaucratic absurdity of the situation surprisingly well. 😄

I do think the basic idea behind the EU’s Digital Services Act makes sense: services with tens of millions of users can have major societal effects, so requiring transparency, risk assessments, independent audits and accountability is not unreasonable.

But the categories do not fit every modern service equally well.

Reddit being classified as a Very Large Online Platform makes perfect sense. It is almost the textbook definition of one: users publish content, others comment and vote, recommendation systems influence visibility, and the platform hosts huge public communities.

Roblox also fits the VLOP category reasonably well once you stop thinking of it as merely a video game. It is really a platform for user-created games and experiences, with social features, communication, recommendation systems and a massive creator ecosystem. Given how many children use Roblox, additional scrutiny is especially understandable there.

ChatGPT being classified as a Very Large Online Search Engine, however, feels much more like regulatory drawer-thinking.

Yes, ChatGPT can search the web. But it can also write text, explain mathematics, program, analyze files, translate, brainstorm, reason about problems and simply have conversations. Calling the whole service a “search engine” describes only one part of what it does.

Law needs categories, of course. The problem begins when a new kind of technology does not really fit the existing categories, so regulators squeeze it into the closest available drawer anyway.

That is why the meme works so well: “We did it lads, we regulated.”

EU hat successfully placed the giant regulatory hat on the chatbot. 🇪🇺😂

So my view is basically:

Reddit as VLOP: very sensible. Roblox as VLOP: also quite sensible. ChatGPT as VLOSE: legally understandable, conceptually awkward.

Regulating very large AI services is not inherently a bad idea. But in the long run, generative AI assistants probably deserve a regulatory category that actually describes what they are, rather than pretending they are simply very large search engines.
