ML(not AI), will be able to automate a lot of simple repetitive tasks with predictable outcome. That will indeed eliminate some stupid-simple jobs that require little to no thinking and are mostly just types of jobs that just have to be done but can be done by anyone. So low level white collar jobs. There will be bleed into different sectors as well but nothing of significance.

I would say no, ML will not have impact on freelancing whatsoever. It will have impact on the bottom line in some companies, but that's like self serving kiosks in mcdonalds. It will have about as much impact as that.
