Freelance copywriter here. I use AI for research summaries and for terrible first drafts that I then rewrite. Nearly everything a client sees is mine, but not every word started that way.
Two clients have asked about AI use this month. One was relieved I use it ("faster turnaround!"); one was quietly alarmed.

I use AI tools for research and early drafting. All final copy is written, edited and fact-checked by me, and no client material is used to train any model.
Too much? Too little? How are other freelancers and agencies handling this?
