OpenAI ChatGPT Integration
An artificial intelligence research and deployment company, OpenAI focuses on the creation of safe, artificial, general intelligence. Their latest AI model, called ChatGPT, has the ability to interact with a user in a conversational tone.

Below is a sample minimum viable product design:
To use the OpenAI integration to display text and an image from a query, recreate the following block combination.
Users of this app enter a prompt into the text input.
The app calls the OpenAI API and populates the label and image components when the 'Text' or 'Image' button is clicked.
The label component shows the text output from the OpenAI model. The image component shows the image output from the OpenAI model.
