I've been messing around with LLMs on the m93p and also on the Surface Pro for a while.  A few minutes ago I remembered that both Opera and my Office Suite (SoftMaker Office) have their own built-in AI, so I decided to have a quick play with Opera's 'Aria' AI.

One thing I didn;t realise was that Aria has a Text to Image function.
No, that's another thing I had played with in depth when I accidentally discovered 'Perchance AI' some time ago.  The results were pretty 'out there', but I managed some really nice Desktop Wallpapers for my systems.

So I fired up Opera and did this quick test:

The text of the BASH script was:

#!/bin/bash # Set the output file name output_file="combined.mp3" # Concatenate all .mp3 files in the current directory for file in *.mp3; do # Append each file to the output file cat "$file" >> "$output_file" done echo "All .mp3 files have been combined into '$output_file'."

I tested the BASH script and it worked perfectly.  I'm not suggesting I would use AI to write all my scripts, but it might be worth testing it on a few Pyton and other scripts just out of curiosity, because it came up with a result immediately.

At any rate, for anyone running Linux, and I guess other Operating Systems as well, it is worth knowing that ARIA in Opera works fine and as well as being an interesting novelty for creating computer wallpaper or cartoons, it can actually be used for a certain amount of work (with caveats).

Since I use Opera on my Android Mobile, I really must have a look and see if the current version of Opera on Android also has ARIA AI.
