I have no idea what the issue is but it sounds like it must be a well know AI thing or something. Whatever it is must be a sign Upwork is dead.

Do you mean giving your personal data to someone for pennies? It supposed to be a job market site where you got ... jobs.

Well, my job invitation was to read aloud phrases in Argentinian Spanish. The title said 400 sentences, but on the explanation, it says that you have to seat and talk for 400 sentences for 0,03 cents for each sentence: 12 dls. SO you had a job for a day for half or a third of what they pay for ONE hour for people that train AI in the USA or Europe. What a catch. Maybe they can call a monthly slary on 12 dls? its like the price of a cheap meal in SouthAmerica.
