Does OpenAI have any fundamental advantage beyond brand recognition?

The ChatGPT site crossed 3B visits last month (For perspective - https://imgur.com/a/hqE7jia). It has been >2B since May this year and >1.5B since March 2023. The Summer slump of last year ? Completely gone.

Gemini and Character AI ? A few hundred million. Claude ? Doesn't even register. And the gap has only been increasing.

So, "just" brand recognition ? That feels like saying Google "just" has brand recognition over Bing.

I mean it's still not an impassibly strong moat. If it were, we'd all still be on MySpace and Digg.

As model performance converges, it becomes the strongest moat. Why go to Claude for a marginally better model when you have the ChatGPT app downloaded and all your chat history there.

True. ChatGPT has already won me over. I stopped even testing anything else.
