Every person is different, but I wonder what is it that you hate so much about negotiation, so much that you’d accept a lower salary even though if you had bills to pay. Even I don’t like to push hard and use tactics like the ones you see in sales calls, but the last time I had to negotiate salaries, I just said that I was excited for the position and the company, and reminded them it would be difficult to accept what they were offering because it didn’t meet my expectations. Virtually everyone was convinced by said statements and came back with salary increases after that. As for ChatGPT, there are tell tale markers when someone uses that, and because of its content-free nature of writing, it is very likely to backfire.

Why are you assuming that I'm constantly accepting lower salaries? I pick my number so that I can my bills and live a comfortable life. Sometimes they have to close a job req and open a new one with a higher pay grade to give me my number. I've read a few times that employees don't care about the absolute number, as long as they feel like they are getting paid fairly compared to their peers. I was like that when I was younger but now I don't care. If Jeff does nothing and gets paid more than me, whatever. As long as I make a number I'm happy with then I'm happy. > As for ChatGPT, there are tell tale markers when someone uses that, and because of its content-free nature of writing, it is very likely to backfire. I just tried it, and it came up with: > Thank you for the offer. I appreciate the opportunity to join your company. However, based on my skills, experience, and the market standards for this role in the industry, I was hoping for a salary closer to (your salary). I believe this reflects the value I can bring to the team and the responsibilities of the position. Seems _good enough_. I'm sure if I spent more time with the prompt and actually told it what industry I'm in, it could write something less generic.
