ChatGPT IRC Bot

ChatGPT IRC bot is a simple IRC bot written in Python. It connects to OpenAI endpoints to answer questions or generate images.

ChatGPT IRC Bot uses official bindings from OpenAI to interact with the API through HTTP requests: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference

Prerequisities:

Create an account and obtain your API key: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

Install python3 and the official Python bindings:

$ apt install python3 python3-pip (Debian/Ubuntu)
$ yum install python3 python3-pip (RedHat/CentOS)
$ pip3 install openai pyshorteners
$ git clone https://github.com/knrd1/chatgpt.git
$ cd chatgpt
$ cp example-chat.conf chat.conf

Configuration:

Edit chat.conf and change variables. Example configuration for IRCNet:

[openai]

role = user
temperature = 0.8
max_tokens = 1000

Interaction:

ChatGPT IRC Bot will interact only if you mention its nickname:

10:31:12 <@knrd1> ChatGPT: hello, how are you?
10:31:14 < ChatGPT> Hi there, I'm doing well, thank you. How about you?
10:35:56 <@knrd1> ChatGPT: do you like IRC?
10:35:59 < ChatGPT> Yes, I like IRC. It is a great way to communicate with people from around the world.

If you set the model to "dalle", the ChatGPT IRC Bot will return a shortened URL to the generated image:
