Sarcastic Twitter Bot

This bot reluctantly answer with sarcastic responses. Uses OpenAI's GPT-3 API to generate the comments. Hosted on Heroku, and uses offcial Twitter SDK to interact with Twitter.

Note: Right now, the bot is not deployed because Heroku removed its free tier and I can't find any other alternative that supports running a bot in the background. If you find one, connect me on Twitter roh1tkumar

Note: mention @bot_witty in a tweet or under a tweet like below example.

I have used another library to post the tweet because the official Twitter SDK was not working for me, got some error which I was not able to resolve, hence I used twit. If you are able to resolve the issue, please feel free to open a PR.
