> Given that OpenAI is not free why would you assume that anything would be sent?

AFAIK using OpenAI through the webpage doesn't cost money, why should I assume that using it through the REST API is any different?



There is a difference between the 2 OpenAI products.

One side allows access via prompts for a fixed monthly fee.

The other allows access via an API that you must purchase credits in advance for.

If you don’t have an API key then there’s nothing for it to do because it won’t even begin to connect.

Again I’m not understanding why you feel a Checkbox is fundamentally better here…


Which part of "you will need to provide an OpenAI API key since GPT costs money to use," that you pretend wasn't written in the updater dialog despite being told otherwise more than once, isn't clear to you?
