🗣 In this episode, Lewis Smith and James Eardley dive into one of the biggest questions people are asking right now — Can ChatGPT actually build you a £10k/month ecommerce business… or is that just clever marketing?
They break down where AI genuinely helps (and where it absolutely doesn’t), why experience and real market feedback still win, and how to blend AI with a proven system so you’re not gambling your future on a fancy prompt.

🧭 Topics Discussed
★ Can ChatGPT Really “Run” a Business?
Why AI on its own can’t yet run a high-ticket ecommerce business for you — and why treating it as an autopilot business builder sets you up for disappointment.
★ Confidence vs Accuracy in AI Answers
How tools like ChatGPT give confident, persuasive responses that sound right… but often ignore real-world margins, suppliers, and demand.
★ Why Experience Still Beats Automation
How human judgment, pattern recognition, and real-world testing trump theory — especially when choosing niches, validating products, and negotiating with suppliers.

💡 Key Takeaways
★ Use AI for Speed, Not Strategy
Let AI help you brainstorm ideas, write copy, generate FAQs, and test ad angles — but don’t outsource niche selection, supplier choice, or overall strategy to a language model.
★ Don’t Build on Shaky AI Assumptions
If you let ChatGPT decide your niche and products without real validation, you can easily spend months building a business that was doomed from day one.
★ You Set the Direction — AI Helps You Get There Faster
The people winning right now are using a proven roadmap, real supplier partnerships and community support, then layering AI on top as a powerful assistant, not a replacement.
