The article explains that using a ChatGPT web session for automation is unreliable because session artifacts like cookies expire or are revoked, leading to pipeline failures. It distinguishes between a browser-based ChatGPT session, which is ephemeral and tied to a specific device and login, and the OpenAI API, which uses server-side authentication with API keys. The author emphasizes that API rate limits are tied to keys, not sessions, and that attempting to substitute session data for API keys is fundamentally flawed. True automation requires using dedicated server-side API keys, not relying on browser session states. AI
IMPACT Using API keys instead of web sessions ensures reliable automation for AI applications, preventing failures due to expiring cookies or revoked access.
