一项新研究(arXiv: 2606.21880)表明,AI正在将部分自由职业市场变成价格竞赛,高技能简历的优势被削弱。在ChatGPT出现后,AI暴露程度最高的职业中,人力资本信号(经验、声誉)的重要性下降了约7.8%,而价格的重要性上升了约1.1%。强背景工作者失去了部分需求优势,需求向更便宜的工人转移,表明AI使这些工作者显得更可互换。
AI may be turning some freelance markets into price contests, where strong profiles carry less weight.
Before AI, a better profile, stronger experience, and better reputation helped workers stand out.
After ChatGPT, those signals mattered less in AI-exposed jobs, and cheaper workers gained relative demand.
They find that in the most AI-exposed jobs, human capital signals became about 7.8% less important after ChatGPT, while price became about 1.1% more important.
They also find that strong-profile workers lost part of their demand edge, and demand shifted more toward cheaper workers, which supports the idea that AI made these workers seem more interchangeable.
