Image generation is now integrated with the provider system:

• Requires OpenAI API key
• High-quality image generation
• Use /draw [prompt] openai

• Requires Gemini API key
• Free tier available
• Use /draw [prompt] gemini

• If premium providers are unavailable, the bot will attempt to use free alternatives
• Image generation capabilities vary by provider availability

• A system prompt would be invoked when the bot is first started or reset

• You can set it up by modifying the content in system_prompt.txt

• All the text in the file will be fired as a prompt to the bot

• Get the first message from ChatGPT in your discord channel!
