The two quotes below seem inconsistent. In the first case, devs use ChatGPT to generate code which upsets all the people worried about AI stealing jobs from human devs. The second quote sounds like people used ChatGPT for automatically generated NPC dialogue which seems like a perfectly valid case for a chatbot. Am I missing another reason why devs would have a realtime link from a game to ChatGPT? Or is a ChatGPT+Unity code generation plugin that is meant for compile time use embedding the API token?

I think they're a little confused, but I've seen tutorials on adding ChatGPT to Unity to write code even at runtime. I could see a novice accidentally including the key if they used a ChatGPT editor script as well.
They are not inconsistent, they are talking about two occurrences that are distinct but related. And yes, if chatgpt makes your NPC dialogue live via the API then every play will incur costs.
By "token" they are referring to private API keys for the developers' OpenAI accounts. ChatGPT APIs are not free, so having a bunch of people using your API token for shenanigans is no bueno.

In worst case the token gets exposed.
