In this special edition of The New Frontier, hosts Max and Jo dive into the breakthrough developments in ChatGPT-4o’s image generation capabilities, joined by Sim, who operates an eight-figure business across 11 private-label Amazon brands. The conversation unpacks how OpenAI’s new image model has evolved from the cartoonish limitations of DALL·E 3 into photorealistic rendering that rivals — and often exceeds — traditional tools like MidJourney. Sim and Jo discuss the implications of this for eCommerce, from generating A+ content to ad creatives, and discuss whether AI imagery is finally good enough for high-end brand builders.
Sim offers a behind-the-scenes look at how his business is integrating AI into its creative process. While main images still require human polish, secondary images and A+ content are now largely AI-generated — eliminating the need for stock photography and streamlining the workflow. Sim emphasizes the importance of human-AI collaboration, where designers use AI-generated mockups as a starting point, then enhance them for marketplace readiness. He also breaks down the operational flow from creative briefs to execution, and how this hybrid approach is accelerating their output across the board.The episode also spotlights an exciting emerging tool: Genspark. Sim and Max dive into how Genspark’s super-agent capabilities outpace alternatives like Manus and even Deep Research, delivering high-quality results in a fraction of the time. With a single prompt, Sim was able to generate a fully designed, visually polished seasonal calendar for pest control — complete with month-by-month breakdowns and localized data (see here). From analyzing Amazon SERPs to estimating product formulations and revenue, Genspark is proving to be a powerhouse for data-driven decisions. Sim praises its speed, depth, and cost-effectiveness — describing it as a mind-blowing advancement that’s reshaping how top-tier sellers approach research and strategy.
