A few years ago, when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out strongly, many experts from many different professions around the world chose the path of freelance work to have freedom of time and limit contact thanks to working remotely.
It has even become a social trend or a new trend in career choice, especially among young people.
However, according to many recent in-depth studies, by 2023, freelancers are facing increasing competition from generative AI, especially ChatGPT .
The clear decline in earnings is confirmed by experienced freelancers across various freelancing platforms, including Fiverr.
One freelancer on the platform confirmed that demand for his writing services has dropped significantly since ChatGPT appeared, causing his income to drop from $2,500-3,000/month to around $1,000/month.
Fiverr is known as the world's largest e-commerce website for freelancers. Fiverr covers almost all fields that are in high demand in the current job market such as graphic design, digital marketing, writing and translation, programming, technology...
Experts warn that millions of workers will lose their jobs due to the automation processes that AI drives in the next decade.
Freelancers involved in highly specialized jobs are at high risk of being replaced by AI. In particular, professions such as copywriting, translation, and web design are at particularly high risk of being replaced by AI.
Faced with this growing threat, experienced freelancers are finding new strategies to counter the trend.
Some freelancers have adapted to the new conditions by researching and taking on the role of AI-generated content editor, which includes editing content, fact-checking, and adding a ‘humanizing’ quality to the product.
On the Fiverr platform alone, the demand for such professionals has increased by more than 7,000% in the last 6 months alone.
Additionally, some freelancers continue to make a name for themselves by successfully creating unique content that requires deep knowledge and expertise.
Freelance writers, for example, are emphasizing the importance of using life experience, demonstrating expertise, and bringing real people to content to stay competitive in the age of AI.
In particular, in jobs related to litigation and product evaluation, the human element continues to play a key role.
