Spending 30 minutes to post a job on Upwork

1•morpheos137•1h ago
Only to have their idiotic AI automatically remove it because the job post title or description has the word "assignment" in it and it said I was being academically dishonest.

This has nothing to do with academics. Even if possibly it did why would it be Upwork's role to judge that?

I needed a draft of a heating plan for a construction project. That was the egregious assignment. Hello silicon valley dystopia barons: making sweeping judgements automatically is a sure way to alienate a customer. I had never used Upwork before. I went looking for a human who could use Matlab for this assignment because in the previous hour AI had repeatedly assured me it could handle it only to fail miserably. Then I go to presumably human connection service and AI immediately silences my post because it knows better. Insane. If anything these automated bullshit tools are making our lives less productive.

Also of course the passive aggressive system waits until I fail to pay because someone optimized embossing out of credit cards need to go to bank to get new one to read the numbers. Great world we got in 2025. Maximal time wasting.
