Screenshot showing the "Job Overview" section of a job ad on Upwork from a verified client from Switzerland. The ad reads: 
"We are seeking a talented and creative individual to join our team as a German Language Book Writer. In this role, you will be responsible for leveraging ChatGPT to create engaging and well-crafted books in German about anything requested. DON'T WORRY! I will teach you how to do it. All that is expected from you is to copy and paste (using your brain!) the generated content into a Word file and ensure the book flows well and makes sense."
The part about copying and pasting "using your brain" is highlighted in the screenshot.
