no these errors are not related.

Your error is:

Uncaught SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

   success https://molosserdogs.com/aichat:933

   jQuery 6

   handleUserInput https://molosserdogs.com/aichat:924

   jQuery 9

   <anonymous> https://molosserdogs.com/aichat:954

so there is a syntax error. You may first check the api key for extra spaces/characters etc. and the pasted codes for other typos.
