I'm not really countering that ChatGPT is popular, it certainly is, but it's also sort of like "fastest growing tire brand" that came along with the adoption of vehicles. The amount of smartphone users is also growing at the fastest rate ever so whatever the new most popular app is has a good chance of being the fastest growing app ever.

		Lots of things had household recognition. Do you fondly remember the Snuggie? The question is whether it'll be durable. The lack of network effects is one reason to be skeptical.
