This means that while other companies are training their AI on their own data, ChatGPT learns from a huge database provided by hundreds of thousands of users.

Using this key, you will be charged monthly. The cost depends on the number of words used by the user which are also called tokens. There are currently 2 models available, ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo (4k Context)(DaVinci) and ChatGPT 3.5 (16K Context).
How to get your own API key?
- Create Your Account on OpenAI. You can also create an account using your Google or Microsoft account.
