3. Create a .env file in the project root directory and add your Discord bot token and OpenAI API key:

GPT_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token

Replace your_openai_api_key and your_discord_bot_token with your actual OpenAI API key and Discord bot token.

3. Go to the "Bot" tab and click the "Add Bot" button. Confirm by clicking "Yes, do it!".

2. Once logged in, go to the API keys section.
3. Generate a new API key or use an existing one.

Running the Bot

Code Explanation

The main components of the code are:

• Importing required libraries and initializing the Discord client and OpenAI API client.
• Loading API keys from the .env file.
• Setting up event listeners for the ready and messageCreate events.
• Implementing the generateResponse function, which sends a message to the OpenAI API and processes the response.
• Sending the AI-generated response to the Discord channel.
• When a message is received, the generateResponse function is called with the message content as the prompt. It sends the prompt to the OpenAI API and receives a response generated by the GPT-4 model. The bot then sends this response back to the Discord channel.
