Ask Is it a violation to use AI tools to complete a job on a freelance platform without telling the client?

[Edward22]

This is becoming one of the most talked about issues in freelancing right now. Most platforms do not have a blanket rule banning AI tools, but the real question is whether the client knows and agrees to it. Some clients include it in their job description that they do not want AI-generated work. Delivering AI work without telling the client when they clearly expected original human effort can be seen as dishonest and may lead to disputes or bad reviews. Do you think freelancers should always disclose when they use AI in their work?
