Introduction

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have come a long way in recent years. AI-powered conversational agents are now, more than ever, becoming increasingly powerful. One such conversational agent is ChatGPT, powered by Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) – a neural network machine learning model that is considered the most powerful language model developed to date.

ChatGPT is capable of generating human-like responses to prompts and messages sent by users, using natural language processing and machine learning. In this article, we’ll be looking at how to use ChatGPT in Python, and how you can get started with this powerful tool.

Getting Started

To get started with ChatGPT in Python, you will need to use a pie Chat GPT repository on a Google Collab notebook. Pie Chat GPT is an open-source Python library that provides an easy-to-use interface for interacting with the ChatGPT API.

To install the pie Chat GPT library, you will first need to install pip. Enter the following command into your terminal:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Once pip has been installed, you can install pie Chat GPT by running:

pip install pie-chat-gpt

Authenticating with ChatGPT

To use ChatGPT, you will need to authenticate with a session token or email ID and password. To get started, simply follow these steps:

Register for a ChatGPT API account.
Obtain your session token or email ID and password.
Authenticate using the following code:

from pie_chat_gpt import ChatGPT

chat_gpt = ChatGPT(session_token='<YOUR SESSION TOKEN>')

If you’re using your email ID and password to authenticate, you can do so like this:

from pie_chat_gpt import ChatGPT

chat_gpt = ChatGPT(email='<YOUR EMAIL>', password='<YOUR PASSWORD>')

Sending a Message to ChatGPT

To send a message or prompt to ChatGPT, simply use the generate_response method, like so:

response = chat_gpt.generate_response('<YOUR MESSAGE>')
print(response)

Refreshing Authentication or Resetting Conversation

If you need to refresh your authentication token or reset the conversation with ChatGPT, you can do so by calling the following methods:

# Refresh authentication token
chat_gpt.refresh_token()

# Reset conversation
chat_gpt.reset_conversation()

Using ChatGPT Locally

If you prefer to use ChatGPT locally on your computer, you can download a DOT Pi file and use it with the pie Chat GPT library like so:

from pie_chat_gpt import ChatGPT

chat_gpt = ChatGPT(model_path='<PATH TO YOUR DOT PI FILE>')

Expanding ChatGPT’s Capabilities

ChatGPT’s capabilities can be expanded by combining text with other media, such as images, videos, and audio. This expands ChatGPT into multi-modal learning, allowing it to generate responses based on multiple inputs.
