If a client wants to refer me to a friend who might want to hire me, how does my client go about this in accordance with the TOS? Will I have to work with the friend on Upwork as well?

Has anyone on here done a legal name change while working on Upwork? What was the process like, and did it disrupt your Upwork account at all?

Just for funsies, I went to the Upwork homepage and noticed that it says "Hire experts who use AI to amplify their skills and impact — turning complex work into results." I wonder how many clients are being turned off by this. I certainly would never hire a freelancer who used AI to do the kind of work I would need done, and when I hired a couple of months ago I purposely weeded out anyone who said they used AI. What market research has Upwork done to prove that the client base actually wants freelancers to rely on AI? Or is this just more AI bandwagoning?
