The Rundown: Freelance service platform Fiverr just launched Fiverr Go, a new suite of AI tools that lets gig workers train models on their work and automate future jobs, while also announcing an equity program giving top performers shares in the company.

The details:

Freelancers can train personal AI Creation Models for $25/mo, allowing them to sell AI-generated versions of their work while retaining ownership rights.

A $29 monthly Personal AI Assistant helps manage client communications and handle routine tasks, using past interactions to provide customized responses.

Access is initially limited to "thousands" of vetted Level 2 and above freelancers in specific categories like voiceover, design, and copywriting.

The company is also launching an equity program that will give top-performing freelancers shares in Fiverr, though specific details haven't been disclosed.

Why it matters: AI is in the process of upending traditional gig work, and Fiverr is attempting to give freelancers a stake in automation instead of competing against it. While the platform could help some creators scale, it also will likely face some backlash from creatives who may feel that opting out of AI is becoming unavoidable.

I hope that the workers are 100% transparent that their content is AI generated.

I also think this will be a dumbing down of artists. We'll see as they don't flex their artistic muscles at the same rate, their art quality will suffer and they won't grow to their potential.

There may be good use cases for it, like regular grind work. I hope that allows artists the economic freedom to make real art. I'd like to see a market of real art pop up. People craving human output and people with the ability and drive to make it.

Seems like AI is supposed to make our lives better by doing menial tasks, so we can focus on what is important. I fear that people will just get too lazy to get to the doing of what is important. That's a world I don't want to live in.

Great comment, the split will be between fake and real, meaning done by human.

Products designed by the robots and produced entirely by robots will be more affordable and oftentimes practical and esteticaly pleasing.

Human element will be a focus on ideas and creativity. In the world where any idea can become a product, be it physical or software, things can get strange very quickly and we - humans will become exhausted.

Fake digital world will become overwhelming, and will inevitably lead to a high pressure for human to human interactions in the meatspace.

A greatest gift will be a simple thing done entirely by other human being.

The finest art will always be done by other human as well as food...

Will the sculpture coming out of robot hands move many hearts? Yes it will, but this will become too easy, too fast, too perfect.

In the world of artificial dominance striving for greater and greater our imperfrectness will become our strength.

We are 2140, a community that believes the physical art will thrive, that human-2-human interactions are incredibly important and the so called work on the ground is the most important.

We are promoting the Bitcoin Culture, cypherpunk ethos, with events and various activities in the physical realm.

On the March 9th we will have a small art pop up at the Tooting Market and a series of talks on bitcoin meetup, celebrating the 32nd birthday of Cyphermunk's Manifesto.
