Tell users that in order to use your service they have to give you their API key.

pretty sure a casual chat website that mandates that everyone give their phone number to OpenAI, activate their account, locate their API key (which is gibberish to most non-tech people) and come back and paste it would kill half the userbase, if not more

I'd be surprised if it didn't kill the app immediately, I rather set rate limiting and have the option to pay, or use your api key instead.
