PHYSIX OBSERVATION

1.2 billion weekly actives means ChatGPT is nearing mass-market scale, but the more telling signal is structural: search queries at one-fifth of Google's and 250 million weekly voice users 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, habit migration may move faster than the numbers.
