> may seem minor, but it compounds over time and it's surprising how much ChatGPT knows about me now
I’m not saying it’s minor. And one could argue first-mover advantages are a form of moat.
But the advantage is limited to those who have used ChatGPT. For anyone else, it doesn’t apply. That’s different from a moat, which tends to be more fundamental.
Ah, I guess I've been interpreting "moat" narrowly, such as, keeping your competitors from muscling in on your existing business, e.g. siphoning away your existing users. Makes sense that it applies in the broader sense as well, such as say, protecting the future growth of your business.
