The culprit is that some of your string elements are empty (check index `horror_movies.overview[6]`, for example).

This should do the trick:

```julia
import Downloads
using CSV, DataFrames, OpenAI

horror_movies = CSV.read(Downloads.download("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2022/2022-11-01/horror_movies.csv"), DataFrame);

# 298 reviews after removing empties
input = filter(!isempty, horror_movies.overview[1:300])

r = create_embeddings(
    ENV["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
    input
)

```
