OAI moat is the brand and getting people habituated into using it more. The aim is to become synonymous to AI, same as Google is synonymous to online search(though in recent times, I am horrified to see that my non-techy friends now use Facebook to search first and then if not satisfied, goes to Google).

Also, there are immense lobbying everywhere covertly, if you haven’t seen it, look at the prominent news media, AI is now akin to “productivity gain” and “innovation”, and “adapting AI or we fall behind” attitude.

Look at all the hammers falling on different industries about energy waste, climate change while AI’s usage of massive energy is presented as “innovation and next generation of work and productivity gains to be unlocked”.

The target for OAI(and AI wave in general) is normal people, not tech people. And when people say AI, you conveniently see OAI emerge from news, social media, your colleagues, your boss, your friends.
