I'm working on adding AI convenience functions as seen in this article from channel

This PR also moves us in the organizational direction defined here. Specifically, you can now add files to the bash_functions folder to expand the common files capabilities without bloating bash_profile or whatever.

Why is this change needed?
--------------------------
It's an experiment in accelerating development with the convenient use
of generative AI. There are currently LOTS of articles about it. This
implementation is based on this article: https://kadekillary.work/posts/1000x-eng/

How does it address the issue?
------------------------------
It adds a bash function, ask_chatgpt, that takes a prompt in the same
way chatgpt would in the browser. I also aliased it to "h". I'm not
sure I think that's the best alias, but it works for now.

I don't actually expect this function to be all that useful by
itself. I think a key feature of chatgpt is that it remembers what
you're talking to it about, so you can make modifications and
adjustments. That doesn't happen using this command line
interface. However, I expect it will be a lot easier to automate
things and provide large bodies of input to chatgpt over command
line. Maybe even setting large bodies of context before asking a question.

Per discussion about making the common files more development
friendly, I added a line to the top of bashrc that sources all the
bash files in a directory. The directory is hardcoded right now in a
way that's probably not going to work for other people, but I had to
stop shaving at some point.

Anyway, the idea is that ALL function extension for bash will be done
in files in that directory[1].

Why is this change needed?
--------------------------
I got tired of it printing "null" whenever there was a problem with my request.

How does it address the issue?
------------------------------
Check to see if they API returns an error message. Print that message
if there is one.

Why is this change needed?
--------------------------
A more interesting use for command line chatgpt is the ability to
write a file that provides significant context for a question and
supply the entire thing. Some possibilities include
- easily providing some code to optimize
- accumulate a shared/sophisticated context for a question

How does it address the issue?
------------------------------
If there are two arguments, append the second to the first. If there's
only one argument, just use that as the prompt.

Why is this change needed?
--------------------------
I want to put weird things in channel.

How does it address the issue?
------------------------------
There's now a function called img_gpt in the terminal that takes a
text description and provides a url for the created image. I aliased
it to "hi", since the basic chat function is "h". And I think "hi" is funny.

This path is not a good path for me.

Also, maybe everyone should have an env variable with their root code path in it.

Same here. I think the path could be ~/bash_functions/*.sh which should be symlinked because of stow. Though, I think we probably want to move that folder to ~/.common_files/bash_functions or actually I think ~/.common_files/bin and adding that to the PATH is probably a more common pattern in dotfiles.

@jason-o-matic - I knew I had done the work to set up the bash script folder. It was in this PR that's been lingering for almost two years.
