GIG Market Fiverr Want to let freelancers physically train AI and use it to automate future work.
At an event on Tuesday, Fiverr announced several new efforts to attract gig workers to its platform and provide them with generated AI tools. Perhaps the most ambitious is a program that will provide freelancers with voiceovers, graphic design and some related work to be able to train AI content and charge customers for access.
Fiverr CEO Micha Kaufman proposed the move to ensure that show workers “get the right credibility and compensation while providing them with unprecedented tools to expand their work.”
“It’s about making our freelancer irreplaceable, not outdated,” Kaufman said in a statement. “We built it.” [these new features] To ensure that creators stay at the center of the creative economy. ”
The emergence of cheap, widely used AI Tech has suffered a huge blow to the performance market. Recent Reports Discover AI tools like Image Generator and OpenAi chatgpt The negative impact with writers, programmers and application developers bear the brunt of the negative impact, resulting in less role competition.
These jobs may not be returned. Independence A slightly older study The researchers performed the show over a nine-month period and concluded that the trend to replace freelancers will only accelerate over time.
Fiverr’s grand plan to solve this problem is what is called the “personal AI creation model”, which will allow contractors to configure AI models trained in previous works such as artworks or codes, and set usage prices. Freelancers will retain ownership of the work generated by their models, including lyrics, illustrations, marketing copy and digital advertising design, Fiverr said.
“Buyers have complete flexibility to choose freelancers’ AI-generated works, artificially created work or a seamless blend of the two,” Fiverr spokesperson told TechCrunch via email. “Customers can pay and download AI-generated assets immediately , or ask freelancers for other editors. They can also connect freelancers of AI-generated works to give examples or inspiration and ask for specific services.”
At the time of Wednesday’s release, only “thousands” of “top” freelancers were able to create models. Fiverr says it uses “high-level language models” and “generating frameworks” to drive functionality – which is free. The price of creating models for personal AI is $25 per month.
The show workers may not have a choice they have many options. Choosing not to participate may put them at a competitive disadvantage in a punitive department. Many performing workers Faced with economic insecurity, covering spending and paying bills, lacking the benefits and legal protections provided to full-time employees.
Fiverr emphasizes that it does not use Gig Worker data to train internal models (for example, models that may compete with workers) and can disable individual AI to create models at any time.
“Creative work and AI model freelancer trains belong to them.” “Fiver may collect aggregated anonymous usage data just to improve platform performance and user experience, but will never copy or replicate with freelancers,” the spokesperson continued. Creative work or service competition…If freelancers disable their AI to create models, they will have access to any content by which they can access any content. The model and others will not be able to access it.”
Fiverr contractors who create models using personal AI will also get Fiverr’s “personal AI assistant” ($29 per month or Fiverr’s seller plus a quality plan), which is actually the chatbot that the customer service chatbot chats with the contractor Chatbot customer. Customizable assistants can “provide actionable business insights” and “handle routine tasks,” Fiverr says, for example, respond on behalf of contractors when they are offline.
Given the sensitivity of some of these interactions, gig workers may be wary of allowing them to be trained. Fiverr hasn’t said whether users can control which specific chat personal AI assistants are used for fine-tuning.
“[The] Personal Assistant Analyzes profiles, performances and past client communications for each freelancer[s],” the spokesperson said. “Freeworkers can review and adjust their personal assistant’s responses during the setup process. Once set up, freelancers can further configure their personal assistant’s behavior by defining specific topics that trigger freelancers, and can add or remove questions and answers that they want their personal AI assistant to answer or not to answer. ”
Fiverr, which is complemented by its AI product launch, unveiled a plan that will go live on Thursday and said it will provide Fiverr shares with the “best-performing” contractor, which the company has traded publicly. Fiverr will not say Tuesday how to determine the winners, nor how many shares they expect to earn or how much spending they spend.
Fiverr’s market capitalization was approximately $1.16 billion as of Friday. Stock performance has been rising over the past year, but recently, Phifel’s fate has been Turn around.
