Please don't post ChatGPT-generated text on HN. You're very likely to be downvoted/flagged, which is what happened here. People here are capable of using ChatGPT themselves, and most of that text is not interesting in the HN sense.
Separately, I think the answer was clear to most people - they did better than other well-paying alternatives (meaning it wasn't a poor outcome / waste of effort from individual perspective), but they're not going to share the specifics.
That's not the same. OP used ChatGPT to improve an answer that didn't say much turning it into something tangible and that added value to the discussion.
> the poster couldn't even assess what they were posting
Uhm disagree, I know what I was posting (doesn't seem it was against the rules either), I was trying to understand better the answer that OP had submitted as a reply to my first question.
It definitely helped me put it into a better perspective (i.e. no clue what an average salary at a large company looks like). That being said the answer to my question from the author still lacks enough details to make "total sense" in my mind - even after passing it through GPT.
This thread is kind of going on and on, but for whatever it's worth, the general rule is "don't post generated comments". We're not the thread police, but you're going to find that comments that are significantly LLM-generated are going to get flagged to death. We're here for human conversation. Maybe next time, just suggest "here's a prompt I used that got a good GPT 4o response, go try it".
don't take it to heart, the content wasn't bad and in the context, a chatgpt answer made sense (in place of you using its content as your own message which would be weird).
I didn't say you didn't know what you were posting, I said you couldn't assess it which is a conclusion I reached by reading your comment which ends: "Not sure if that helps or if it's accurate". But like the mod comments say, HN is for conversation between people rather than a conversation between you and an LLM.
