README.md.Expected Behavior
The API should make new chats we can view in the web UI.
Actual Behavior
When I use the API via the swagger docs (screenshot attached) it'll create a new chat, but when I go visit it through the web UI it just hangs with a spinning wheel. Nothing in the open-webui log tells me why it might be hanging. I wiped out my data directory, removed the open-webui pip pkg, and tried again with the same results.
The chrome browser log shows a JS error?
Steps to Reproduce
1 Run open-webui serve
2 Use the swagger docs to create a new chat (it should) like my screenshot
3 Visit the chat in a web browser and it hangs like in the second screenshot.

Creating new chats via API isn't officially supported.
