Comment on Ask HN: How's Business These Days for Fiverr Freelancers?

Comments

I'm just one guy, but I used Fiverr freelance services three times within the past year.

So I'm not making anyone rich. But I assume I'm not the only person who finds it all very useful.

There are some niches that I think they are trying to be "too" professional with (meaning, some tack on fees for things that are a bit too far beyond the person's actual professional level, or the gig purpose itself). But you can simply bypass those users anyway.

Thanks for replying.

I asked the question because I wondered if or how AI-assistance might be used more these days. By either the freelancers in their delivering their services, or by buyers who might be figuring they don't need to hire a freelancer for whatever reason these days.

While I do pay for an OpenAI (ChatGPT) account, I wouldn't ever pay someone to use it for me, so I don't know. Given how it works, I would be only results driven, and if the results I want come easily through AI, I would have already done it that way.

I don't speak for everyone, but I have a hard time imagining someone paying for someone else to .... prompt for things on their behalf. Especially since the prompt I would have to provide you is likely to be sufficient for the AI directly.
