ChatGPT is a simple IRC bot written in Python. It connects to OpenAI endpoints to answer questions or generate images.
ChatGPT uses official bindings from OpenAI to interact with the API through HTTP requests: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference
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
To build the Docker image, you can use the following command:
docker build -t my-python-app .
To run the Docker container, you can use the following command:
docker run -p 4000:80 my-python-app
This Dockerfile ensures that your application runs in an isolated environment with its dependencies, which enhances its security and reliability. However, for a production environment, you might want to consider additional security measures, such as using a non-root user to run the application inside the container1.
Edit chat.conf and change variables. Example configuration for IRCNet:
[openai]
api_key = sk-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[chatcompletion]
model = gpt-3.5-turbo
role = user
temperature = 0.8
max_tokens = 1000
top_p = 1
frequency_penalty = 0
presence_penalty = 0
request_timeout = 60
[irc]
server = open.ircnet.net
port = 6667
ssl = false
channels = #knrd1,#github
nickname = MyBot
ident = mybot
realname = My Bot
password =
$ python3 chatgpt.py
ChatGPT 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:
17:33:16 <@knrd1> ChatGPT: two horses dancing on the street
17:33:23 < ChatGPT> https://tinyurl.com/2hr5uf4w
ChatGPT IRC bot can use three API endpoints.
Following models support endpoint /v1/chat/completions:
gpt-4, gpt-4-0314, gpt-4-32k, gpt-4-32k-0314, gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo-0301
Models that support /v1/completions:
text-davinci-003, text-davinci-002, text-curie-001, text-babbage-001, text-ada-001, davinci, curie, babbage, ada
Create an image using endpoint /v1/images/generations:
dalle
