100 million users for ChatGPT plus GPT4 with plugins seems like a pretty good starting moat.
- dragonwriter 3y agoIs it though? It would be a moat for social media or something with network externalities, but Chatbot’s don’t have the strong network externalities that come when the business involves many-to-many user-user interaction patterns, or even 1-1 interaction. Its a lead, but its not a barrier to competitors acquiring users even if they can offer better value for price outside of network size, nor is it a barrier to competitors development.

- kuratkull 3y agoThat's not a moat. That's their current situation they achieved by being the first mover. But nothing is stopping someone else from doing a cheaper/better model tomorrow, next year, whenever. I'd jump ship in a few hours to a day from their Premium if something better or same-but-cheaper came out.
- bagels 3y agoIf someone offered the same thing with better privacy for business use, I'd use it.
- kortilla 3y agoThat’s not a moat, that’s a head start. Unless there is a network effect or good feedback from the users to improve the model, it’s not a moat.
