It's of course fine to ask chatgpt. I also appreciate that you wrote that it was from chatgpt.

However, I wouldn't recommend posting the result here if you don't know if it's correct. Moreover, anyone can ask chatgpt themselves. It's better to wait for someone here to post an answer.

Yes, there's nothing in the guidelines, but they're (deliberately) not all-encompassing. Besides, I would hope it's part of basic Internet etiquette; just because we now have access to tools that generate plausible-sounding but not necessarily correct answers to questions doesn't mean we need to post what they create in the place of genuine answers.

Yea that got lost on me. I think I view these things a bit differently than most on HN. I've noticed in general that the more I'm not at uni, the more my thinking has become heuristic and quick-ish. It used to be more thorough and in-depth. The trade-off of it being that such type of thinking is more time consuming but the answer is more comprehensive and/or accurate.
