I tried making a Freelancer post, as I used their service once years ago and it was generally pleasant, but I was immediately bombarded with AI Applicants and an AI Recruiter grilling me for answers to its questions. Immediately deleted the post and the entire account.

Where do I go to get a quote for some work done by some actual human beings? I don't need AI, I don't want AI, if someone automate their quoting process then I'm out because I'm not gonna fuckin negotiate with the hallucinating vending machine.

EDIT: I attempted a post on UpWork.com and there is far less AI response than on Freelancer, but I've still declined all offers so far because they failed an important filter question. Still, I've been able to get quotes! FINALLY! Looks like my website could potentially be built for some number between $5,000 and $38,000. Very interesting. As some commenters have suggested, I'll check out some options in local cities, though I doubt I'll find much in my small studio's price range.

Try going directly to a college or university and speak to humans directly. Middle-men have taken over the entire hiring process for most companies because there is coin to be made by putting up one candidate over another. Bring back classified ads in local newspapers. Surely printing newspapers everyday, like they used to, would have less of an environmental impact than just one datacenter? Yeah, I know, Boomer shakes his fist at cloud.
