Bug Description

Earlier, we had to specify the OpenAI API key using this JSON structure in the n8n environment file. However, this requirement has been removed in subsequent versions, which prevents tasks in version 1.72.1 from starting. So we have to remove this json to start tasks with 1.72.1 version. If i remove this json structure it cause my workflow to break. Is there any other way to set environment variables to ensure my workflow doesn't break when upgrading the version Or using chatgpt is a paid feature now??

"ai": {
    "enabled": true,
    "provider": "openai",
    "openAI": {
        "apiKey": ""
    }
}

Hey @shvmkj,

We have created an internal ticket to look into this which we will be tracking as "N8N-8062"

it cause my workflow to break

None of the AI features should be breaking workflows.
Can you please elaborate on how the workflows are broken? maybe we have some other bugs caused by this that we need to fix.
