This is a ChatGPT plugin for Neovim, not a Neovim plugin for ChatGPT.

It's like we're LLMs ourselves... generating different flavors of UIs to interface with chatGPT. That's what I think of when I see the proliferation of chatGPT UIs that hit the front page.

Inevitably, human behavior that's similar to an LLM is ripe for replacement by an LLM due to the abundance of behavioral data.

I just tried this out and it's basically exactly what I want! No frills, basic feature set. Was going to make something myself but now I can be even lazier than normal.

Ok, we've swapped the order in the title above.

Sick dude. Thank you! I love copilot.vim and use it quite extensively. Will try this. I only ever use the ChatGPT service through their website. Do you get an API key by default or is that a separate service?

I still use copilot as my main completion tool. I found ChatGPT to be too slow and expensive to use for tab complete level of usage, but it works really well for larger things (e.g. refactor X to do Y, or write unit tests).

You can get your API key here https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.

Does the API offer access to the same model as the one used in ChatGPT web app? If so it might be way cheaper to use the API than ChatGPT plus?

Chat API is this: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create

URL that the plugin is using for the API call is here: https://github.com/dpayne/CodeGPT.nvim/blob/1ff70459b170ddaf...

TLDR: yes

> If so it might be way cheaper to use the API than ChatGPT plus?

I haven't used ChatGPT Plus, just the normal one. But at least the demonstration GIF makes it seem kind of slow. One selling point of the Plus service is supposedly that you get faster responses.
