Using OpenAI to Generate a Sarcastic Job Description

openai.ipynb is a Jupyter notebook with a simple example of using the OpenAI API to generate some text from a prompt.

Requirements

You will need the Jupyter tools to run the notebook. See https://jupyter.org/install for installation details.

You will also need to install the openai and python-dotenv modules, which you can do with this command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Finally, you need an OpenAI account and an API key. Go to https://openai.com/api/ to create an account. After creating an account or logging into an existing account, click the user menu in the upper-right corner and choose the View API keys item, then click Create new secret key to create your API key. Copy the created key and save it somewhere.

API Key Configuration

The notebook looks at a file named .env to read the value of the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable. Create a copy of .env.example named .env, then add your API key to that file. It should look something like this:

OPENAI_API_KEY=ab-cdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
