In this tutorial, we explain

1.) How to create a free OpenAI API key.
2.) How to write a simple Python scripts that will use this API key to interact with ChatGPT and similar models from a local computer.

Explanation for people completely new to AI: In order to use OpenAI Large Language Models (LLMs) in Python, you need to create an OpenAI Application Programming Interface (API) key. The API key is a password that you need to enter in your program in order to be able to use OpenAI software. OpenAPI provides different versions of API keys. There is a free version which will be used in this tutorial. This free version has rate limits (3 requests per minute and a rate limit on the number of tokens). However, most users will not surpass these rate limits unless you are programming an AI agent that needs to access the LLM more frequently than 3 requests per minute.
