Hi Phil..100%..freelancing can be done in two ways..

1.either provide direct 1-1 service..charge big bucks (income is still capped)..

or

2.turn it into a process and sell it as SAAS (unlimited income)..

you need people skills for the first and tech skills (in most scenarios AI) for the latter.

AI in writing, webdesign, marketing, etc will wipe out the bottom 30% of the market..which is where most freelancing happens right now on sites like Fiverr, Upwork, etc.

a select group of freelancers who harness the power of AI tools in their respective fields will make the majority of money.
