i just saw the news about the upwork and openai partnership.
clients can basically find freelancers directly through chatgpt now.
it is a pretty big change for how we get found on the platform.
if you have an active profile set to public, relevant skills, Job Success Score of 90% or higher, and good client feedback, you are basically being indexed for ai discovery.
im curious how this is going to affect those of us who have spent years building a reputation.
it might be good for getting better matches without all the noise.
but it also feels like another layer of gatekeeping where we dont know how we are being ranked?
it feels like we might have to start writing our profiles for bots now instead of just humans!
