Creating the get_response() function

Most of the exercises in this course will call the chat.completions endpoint of the OpenAI API with a user prompt. Here, you will create a get_response() function that receives a prompt as input and returns the response as an output, which in future exercises will be pre-loaded for you.

The OpenAI package, and OpenAI API Python client have been pre-loaded.
