That is the only way for now to serve the hundreds of daily new users it's attracting , otherwise if I use a single master account the rate limit would be hit too hard and no one gets to use it
Sup, I'm the creator of DuckDuckGPT!
DuckDuckGPT is a userscript add-on that enhances DuckDuckGo search results w/ the astounding AI of ChatGPT, showing responses in the sidebar.
It is available for Chrome/Firefox & the code is open sourced: https://github.com/adamlui/users...
I think it works only if the users have logged in to Chat GPT in the current session. At least that's what I could get from the code in GitHub. Nice work! Maybe you could have a central chatGPT account so that it is usable for everyone? Just a suggestion.
@arunkumars08 Thank you for the suggestion! The problem with one account is the rate limit would be hit really hard with scale. This way at least more users get to enjoy the magic sauce that is ChatGPT
@adamlui Yes, I understand. Maybe you could have conditional lookups. I know it is not great and the worst case, you would end up using all of yours but you can just collect metrics and see how much difference comes out of it.
What I meant by conditional lookups is: You can check if there is a user session with chatgpt like how you are doing, you could take the keys, if not, you could use your keys.
It just makes it a bit better. Maybe who knows, it could scale decently to a few hundred / thousand requests
@arunkumars08 If you think this works create a PR & I can add you as Maker/co-author, in the meantime I am patiently awaiting ChatGPT API!

Curious to know how this extension is going to handle expected request volumen? Meaning in general, but also I expect request volume is going to be fairly heavy being on the front page of PH!
@forestmars Wow I didn't know that! ChatGPT has been growing astronomically as is (it's the fastest growing app in human history apparently) so OpenAI has stated they are working to scale up to meet the demand. Luckily Microsoft invested billions for 49% stake, so growing pains should be temporary

😹 LOL
you said duckduckwhat? haha.
simple, clean, and duckduckgo based, so I like it!
@giga_greg nothing planned for now except a Firefox & Chrome extension version plus a GoogleGPT, but maybe a way to reply to the answer directly in the sidebar?
