I mean, an paid API key shouldn’t be default. It shouldn’t even be an option, if you ask me. It should default to a community “horde” of folks playing the game, and prompt you to host an LLM and/or generate some responses for other users if you wish to.

Kinda like the Fediverse. Or the AI Horde, but for a specific game: https://aihorde.net/

I really don’t want one more drop of traffic redirected to OpenAI. They’re like a cancer in the machine learning community.
