My gripe is similar
I, too, have tried with no success to obtain the API Key necessary for using a Chat enabled notebook. I am not sure if this is what is meant by "plugin" in this post. The OpenAI people are very clear that a $20 ChatGPT Plus account is NOT the same as the account that gets you an API Key. But getting that account and a key is very murky. I followed all the prompts, thought I signed up correction and got a "secret" API key.
It did not work. Rinse, repeat. It did not work. Again. It did not work.
I contacted Wolfram. They generated an API Key for me and it worked but it was for testing only and expired in a few minutes. Wolfram said they have heard from other users with the same frustrating experience. It takes about a week for a support response from OpenAI. Then what you get is just a Bot telling you about the same links that generate the same API Keys that do not work.
Something is amiss here. The intelligence is so artificial that it does not know...
