Freelancers regularly use tools such as Copilot and Claude, it's always handled professionally and in agreement with their customers. I've seen other freelancers do it plenty of times in the last 1-2 years at my customer sites.

Why so narrow minded?

I'm inquisitive not narrow minded.

The GP didn't mention anything about freelancing so unless you know them or stalked them you are perhaps being narrow minded here.

They also never said anything about being employed.

You are being narrow minded here.

Again, I disagree and reaffirm my being full of inquisitiveness.

You are being downright unpleasant and I don't think we should continue this conversation further until you open your mind.

Ditto.

I'm glad we agree.

I own my own business.

Interesting and thanks for clarifying that aspect. I have a few more questions if you would be able to answer any of them at any level of detail I would appreciate it.

How much would you be willing to pay to continue using Claude on a monthly basis before you stopped?

Do you currently maintain the new (as of two weeks ago) cash reserve to ensure it continues working when limits are reached and how much do you reserve for said reserve?

Finally, do you send your customer's code or data directly to Claude or do you use it indirectly on generic stuff and then manually specialize the outputs?
