When Network Effects are good moats for AI startups

While building our startups, it's important for me to think about moats—ways to protect us from "AI".

There are many guides on building moats, such as this one Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42620994).

But for me, these guides list moats and do not explain why they work. As such I wanted a framework for assessing assets that contribute to network effects.
