Freelancers Embrace AI as “Smart Assistant” — Not Replacement

[johnblockbuster]

AI isn’t taking freelancers’ jobs — it’s helping them work smarter.
Journalists at October’s Lunch and Learn shared how they’re using tools like ChatGPT and Claude for time-consuming, low-creativity tasks — from cleaning transcripts to formatting bibliographies.
The consensus? “AI won’t replace us, but the freelancers who use it will replace those who don’t.”

Exactly the right mindset — AI should complement freelancers, not compete with them. Smart collaboration wins.

AI isn’t the threat — staying stagnant is. The freelancers who leverage AI will outrun those who fear it.

Freelancers who use AI as a productivity booster rather than a substitute will thrive in this hybrid future.
