> There’s no official API for ChatGPT yet, so I’m using the unofficial chatgpt NPM package to wire up the app in the demo video. OpenAI has their Cloudflare protection cranked up high; to get around that, it runs a full Chrome instance (!) in the background to shuttle messages back and forth between the little REST API server I wrote and ChatGPT’s internal API.

This is quite a workaround, have you tried the official Davinci003 api? It's rather capable now and probably faster response times. Very cool experiment regardless!
