User message missing in `chat_gpt`

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior

Describe the bug
It appears that using the chat_gpt interface isn't working.

For example, take this script:

(async () => {
	let chatgpt_response = await chat_gpt({
		message: "What is the capital of France?",
	});
	returnToBTT(chatgpt_response);
})();

I can see in Proxyman that the request payload is missing the user message:

{
  "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "messages": [
    {
      "content": "You are a helpful assistant who interprets every input as raw text unless instructed otherwise. Your answers do not include a description unless prompted to do so.",
      "role": "system"
    },
    {
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": ""
        }
      ],
      "role": "user"
    }
  ]
}

Here's the response:

the parameter name for the user prompt is "user"

(async () => {
	let chatgpt_response = await chat_gpt({
		user: "What is the capital of France?",
	});
	returnToBTT(chatgpt_response);
})();
