PHYSIX OBSERVATION

1.2 billion weekly actives means ChatGPT is approaching mass-market ubiquity, but the more telling signal is structural: search queries at one-fifth of Google's and 250 million weekly voice actives show it is turning from a chat tool into an entry point. For Google, the search moat has developed its first quantifiable crack; for users, the habit shift may move faster than the numbers.
