Enable ChatGPT 🚀

Set an OpenAI API key to enable ChatGPT translation.

$ fanyi config --openai-api-key sk-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Turn off ChatGPT translation.

$ fanyi config --openai-api-key false

If we get this error:

Cannot reach OpenAI api, please check network

We need to ensure that the proxy and $http_proxy is correctly set.

For example(for clash X):

$ export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890
