I would imagine that they hoovered up a lot of data from the internet to train it and don't know if it's private or not. They can't guarantee that the model won't print your home address if you ask it the right way.

In that case it wouldn't matter where they make it available. GDPR protects EU citizens' data everywhere, including in US.
I'm not really sure the law could work that way. I mean in the sense that they may have codified that but realistically I think a nation's laws ended their borders typically
GDPR applies globally. If you handle EU citizens data, you must conform to it.
Of course you might not care, if you believe that the EU has no way of forcing you to pay a fine and if you are certain that you are never going to do any business in the EU. But in such case you might as well provide access to your models for EU IPs too. It makes no difference.
how can a law apply globally? Ignore the idea that EU can fine you, under what basis do laws of a country apply to actions outside the country?
Yeah, but the EU can't do anything to you if you don't sell to the EU in the first place.
Then why block the access, if you are fine with violating EU law because they have no way to make you pay fines?
The model access makes no difference.
