very annoying :( same problem, if i change type to module i get:

How do we fix it?

This has been a way to make it work on Electron's backend:

import './fetch-polyfill.js'

but it only works in development, on a built project I get this:

Cannot find package 'chatgpt' imported from C:\Users\...\background.js
Did you mean to import chatgpt/build/index.js?

Any ideas?

This project is undergoing a major revamp; closing out old issues as part of the prep process.

The chatgpt package is pretty outdated at this point. I recommend that you use the openai package or the openai-fetch package instead.
