The product is selling well and has opened more than 700 Amazon stores. A monthly salary of 120,000 yuan is offered to recruit ChatGPT talents.

With the iterative upgrade of ChatGPT and the growing wave of AI cross-border, more and more big sellers such as Jihong Co., Ltd., Giant Star Technology, and Cross-border Communication are using ChatGPT as an auxiliary tool for store operations. At the same time, cross-border companies are increasingly demanding relevant talents, and are offering high salaries to recruit talents.

ChatGPT seems to be playing an increasingly important role in the field of cross-border e-commerce. Not long ago, Jihong Co., Ltd. disclosed the outstanding results achieved by the company's business since connecting to ChatGPT, including helping to launch more than 10,000 new products, taking over more than 100,000 customer chats and comforting conversations, and obtaining more than 20,000 advertising copy. Jihong Co., Ltd., which is at the forefront of the cross-border AI wave, has also become a major benchmark in the industry.

Nowadays, more cross-border practitioners are embracing ChatGPT. According to recruitment information from Shenzhen-based Yibai Network, it is currently recruiting ChatGPT-related technical talents with high salaries.

Currently, Yibai Network is recruiting for related positions including ChatGPT optimizer, NLP project manager and NLP manager (ChatGPT direction), as well as NLP product experts. Their main responsibilities are to optimize and improve the expression of ChatGPT in the cross-border e-commerce field. The salary and benefits are much higher than e-commerce operation positions such as Amazon and independent stations, and even higher than other technical development positions.

Among them, Yibai Network offered a high monthly salary of up to 120,000 yuan for the position of NLP project manager. The project manager will be mainly responsible for improving the performance of ChatGPT, analyzing user feedback and data statistics to solve problems and bottlenecks, as well as product life cycle management.

In fact, Yibai Network's emphasis on ChatGPT talents has a deep connection with its own sales model. In the current environment where mass distribution has gradually become a "swan song" and the transformation of the boutique route has become the main theme, Yibai Network, as a mass distribution seller, still stands firm. Not only has it completed the gambling agreement for three consecutive years, but it has also become a major growth engine after being acquired by Huakai Shares.

Public information shows that Yibai Network is a pan-category e-commerce company that implements a multi-category development business strategy with a large number of SKUs. Its main products cover 3C electronics, industrial and commercial supplies, home gardening, outdoor sports and other categories. As of the first half of 2022, Yibai Network has opened 729 online stores on Amazon.

Previous experience has proven that the distribution model of large-scale store account matrix and massive SKU stacking can certainly bring short-term effects in the early stage of development, but it also buries hidden dangers such as unsalable inventory and uncontrolled inventory management. The reason why Yibai Network has been able to move forward steadily despite the gradual decline of the distribution model is mainly due to the empowerment of technology. Through the independent research and development of information systems, it continues to improve the level of automation and intelligent operations to cope with the drawbacks of the distribution model.

It is reported that the intelligent MRP planning system developed by Yibai Network can evaluate the historical sales volume and expected future sales trend of each SKU, and automatically output purchase and transfer instructions based on the influence of factors such as real-time inventory and supply and delivery cycle, so as to realize intelligent management and control of supply chain links. The system can complete the full data calculation of tens of millions of product information on different platforms, millions of FBA links and inventory, and more than 200,000 to 400,000 SKUs within 5 to 6 hours.

Therefore, for Yibai Network, ChatGPT, which is constantly iterating and upgrading and whose role in cross-border operations continues to increase, is undoubtedly a new generation of technological artifact.

However, just as the ChatGPT craze was heating up in the cross-border circle, an undercurrent of account blocking was quietly brewing. According to reports, ChatGPT suddenly experienced a large-scale account blocking phenomenon from March 31, with Asian users being the hardest hit, with up to one million accounts affected.

On major social media platforms, many users reported that ChatGPT suddenly became unusable without any warning, and the official registration channel also showed as temporarily closed.

There are many different opinions on the specific reasons. One theory is that it is related to the network nodes used. Currently, ChatGPT has not opened services for China, Russia and other regions. Therefore, using Asian nodes, especially domestic users, often has a certain risk control factor during access.

On the other hand, the popularity of ChatGPT also boosted the account buying and selling industry, with many merchants using the same IP to register accounts in batches, which led to them being officially banned by OpenAI.

Looking at the cross-border circle, some sellers have reported that there were problems with the ChatGPT accounts they used. Since the 30th, the paid Plus function has frequently failed, with payments being deducted but subscription services not being activated.

In this regard, some investors also asked whether Jihong Co., Ltd.’s operating business was affected by the ChatGPT account blocking incident. In response, Jihong Co., Ltd. stated that the ChatGPT account blocking had no impact on its business.

The root cause of the ban is still unknown, but if it continues to ferment, it may to some extent shake the current AI cross-border trend.
