 #' Set up the authentication with your API key
 #'
 #' @description
-#' Access to GPT-3's functions requires an API key that you obtain from [https://openai.com/api/](https://openai.com/api/). `gpt3.authenticate()` accepts your API key and ensures that you can connect to the models. `gpt3.endsession()` overwrites your API key _for this session_ (it is recommended that you run this when you are done). `check_apikey_form()` is a simple check if any information has been provided at all.
