[Feature Request]: Run concurrently with different accounts

[Nanfacius]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What would your feature do ?

This feature will allow different users to access the API simultaneously.
In this way, developers can develop apps such as a Wechat or QQ bot. More common people will be able to easily access ChatGPT without opening a browser or using command line. Sending a message to a bot on their most familiar social media app will be the most efficient way to use ChatGPT.
Actually, I have tried to use you codes as a module of my QQ bot (which is based on go-cqhttp). However, now it only allows 1 session. If more than 1 users send message to my QQ bot at the same time, they have to wait for their sessions being processed one by one.
My idea is:

1. Configure the Chatbot with a list of config files (or a list of OpenAI accounts) rather than only 1.
2. Rewrite the main function as an instance function of class Chatbot with asyncio.
3. Automatically distribute available OpenAI accounts to different users.

Proposed workflow

The new feature can be used with the codes below as an example

from revChatGPT.V1 import Chatbot, configure
chatbot_dict={}
async def respond(QQbot, user_id, prompt):
if user_id not in chatbot_dict:
chatbot = Chatbot(user_id, configure)
chatbot_dict[user_id] = chatbot
else:
chatbot = chatbot_dict[user_id]
res = await chatbot.get_res(prompt)
#Here chatbot.get_res is the function rewritten from main as I mentioned above
QQbot.send(user_id,res)

Additional information

No response

Re Point 3 and more of your suggestions: it goes against their ToUs, alas.

Now, this is going to be a meta post about this very post itself:

I want to share a personal related experience, about Github, OpenAI etc. and their (quite sensible) terms of use. Just two days ago, while working on one of my NLP scripts in Python, I made a mistake of hard coding an OpenAI token within the repository. Unfortunately, I also committed it to a public repository and then synched [I know, I know - the account I used was a nonprimary email/phone one that I set up some months ago when they were still accepting those]. I realized my mistake within an hour and quickly toggled it back to the private status. Still, when I then logged in to my OpenAI-linked mail only two or three hours later, I got an automatic mail from the kind OpenAI guys that my token (one of 3 or so for that account) was compromised and thus revoked.

This incident serves as a warning for all Github users to be careful while sharing code and even chats on public repositories. Additionally, it's important to keep in mind Github's and third-party terms of use, which prohibit the sharing of certain types of content. Be mindful of what you upload and always be cautious while sharing your work on public platforms.

Now, time for this meta. Out of curiosity, I had this story above fixed/reworked by this very code via this useful (and finally working for me, see below) library, with very minor corrections. Guess what has just happened two seconds thereafter?
Below the actual output from my terminal - I am pasting it verbatim, yet in part:

[the end of the output above...:] Be mindful of what you upload and always be cautious while sharing your work on public platforms.

Chatbot:
It sounds like OpenAI detected suspicious activity on your account and took proactive measures to protect your account by revoking the compromised token. This is a security feature that many online platforms use to prevent unauthorized access to accounts.

If you haven't already done so, I would recommend resetting your password and enabling two-factor authentication to further secure your account. Additionally, be sure to use unique and strong passwords for all your accounts and avoid reusing the same password across multiple accounts.

If you believe that your account was compromised due to a security vulnerability on OpenAI's platform, I would recommend reporting it to OpenAI's support team so they can investigate and address the issue.

Yep, there is no "You" (me) input there anymore - it did not stop and seems to have detected the mention of its leaked token in the output itself. It then started typing these caveats (?), 3 in total, on its own - the "Terminator , Sara and John Connor stuff" but IRL, see also this Twitter NLP guy who EdgeGPTed himself about that "Oh you are Sydney? No I ain't!" hack and discovery of his soon afterwards, self-doxxing and going meta meta thereby of sorts.

Comments?

Update 1.1 - converting code to quote for better legibility, fixing minute factual detail that it was a run-on, automatic, output.

[Manamama]

Now, let me double praise @acheong08 for his fixed and finally clear Readme - see my older comments about the need to make it clear for the "newbie" end-users (like me), thus thanks for taking it on board.
Especially of use is this update and bit:

[method Not supported for Google/Microsoft accounts

and the direct link to this auth token easy view in window (an option which does not work for me either today, but now the non-Google email/password credentials one finally does, see also the long story above).

Comments?

Maybe I should explain my ideas more clearly. Point 3 is nothing about sharing OpenAI accounts with users. All the accounts and passwords are stored on your own server. Other users send request to your bot on social media apps, say, a QQ bot on QQ, a popular chatting app in China. Then the back-end on your server call the revChatGPT API. If more than 1 QQ users send request at the same time, you will need more than 1 OpenAI accounts to handle the requests concurrently. In this way, we can regard the accounts as computing resources. When I say "Automatically distribute available OpenAI accounts to different users", I mean automatically distribute computing resources to them. In order to keep continuous sessions, each user has to be bound with 1 OpenAI account. However, only the bot on QQ or other social media platforms is exposed to other users. Anything stored on your server are safe enough, even including your ip address.

[Manamama]

@Nanfacius - We are writing about the same, but using different approaches. Mine is more legalistic one, for a number of reasons (I have been dealing with similar NLP & ToUs stuff, on a non-coder yet "our side" level, for some decades).
Re:

you will need more than 1 OpenAI accounts to handle the requests concurrently

Indeed. Yet compare it with the DEC 2022 and previous ToUs:

[you will not] buy, sell, or transfer API keys without our prior consent...
you are responsible for all activities that occur using your credentials...
Free Tier. You may not create more than one account to benefit from credits provided in the free tier of the Services [or we may] stop providing access to the Services.

So it would trigger even more "OpenAI" 'chroot jail' or more, IMHO, see my personal fun story above, one of many.

Sorry for being a wet blanket but apart from individual token revocations (like mine) or (burner or otherwise) account blocks (like the author, within his very useful other project - my hat off once again for his dedication, as it proved very useful for an IRL immediate application of mine back then), more things may happen: check also for random press stories about Github legacy code, bitcoin or otherwise and whatever TLA agencies. (Sorry also for not being very clear here.)

[Manamama]

And a quick self-update - found another random article - this is how it likely worked for my miscommitted token itself, at least since 2019, now very likely with instant NLP "sentiment and keyword analysis" for topics such ours here:

In October 2018, GitHub also announced partnerships with third-party online services as part of a new feature called Token Scanning. This scans new commits or private-turned-public repos for service providers’ API keys and notifies the appropriate service provider when it finds them. That service provider may then choose to revoke the credentials, which is the step GitHub recommends, according to a spokesperson there. She also told us that it has shared information on more than 100 million compromised tokens so far.

@Manamama I totally understand your concern and thank you for your warning. But the reason why we are here is that we, just like the author, want to use ChatGPT more conveniently, even if it may be against their ToUs. So what? Do you think I have to abey the ToUs and give up my ideas, or it's OK as long as I can afford the risks?

[Manamama]

@Nanfacius
Your choice, obviously. I just "take your (and the readers') watch to show yous the time".

Kudos for the dev once again and for taking our humble UXE tips on board and a quick end-user tip: incidentally this API way (his and another related Github wrapper project, with JS UI refresh injects) is more reliable and stable than my ChatGPT "tame online" sessions.

[acheong08]

This feature is planned

[acheong08]

Multi account cycling is recommended. We care not about their TOS

[acheong08]

Automatically distribute available OpenAI accounts to different users.

Not possible

[acheong08]

Rewrite the main function as an instance function of class Chatbot with asyncio.

I'm not great at async. Would be nice if there was a pull request for an async_ask function

[dawhdb]

The same code won't work with a multi-process chatbot, but it will work without multiple processes. Why

[assassingyk]

have been using asyncio.get_event_loop.run_in_executor to run Chatbot.ask async, not very elegent, but usable.
