My native language is Spanish, and when I use Aria by default it responds to me in English, although I specify that it responds to me in Spanish, after a few minutes the conversation follows me in English

i am constantly getting "violation of terms of use" responses when requesting image generation. what terms of use? where are they? annoying

@wry-toast: i have just found the terms of use and it provides not answer. the image generation i have requested has not been for anything pornographic or illegal.

@wry-toast I've had two so far: one was for 'a baby pushing a pram with a dog in it' and I just cannot work out how that violates anything at all - I think they need some fine tuning.

@antreiou Yes and no. Every time I write a song, or a poem, I reassemble words and notes of music that I have learned - and it is almost impossible to write a totally original piece that makes much sense - I think this is why artists like David Bowie resorted to cutting up bits of paper with words on them, throwing them in the air, and seeing where they fell. Likewise, the Beatles came up with some randomly stoned psychedelic gems like 'Plasticine porters with looking glass eyes' that owe a lot to the long British tradition of the 'Nonsense' and the 'Absurd' - that Lewis Carrol and Edward Lear started.
I can write something original, but only if it is Nonsense! -

@antreiou: For the sake of argument, isn't that what artists do with collage? Or musicians with hip-hop?

@thorello: I believe you're correct; we won't be able to get the genie back in the bottle. But we can choose to support live artists, much like we can pay to hear live music instead of just listening to the radio.

@antreiou: In that contest, every artist in the world stole from past artists! Don't we all learn before we create? Isn't that what AI is doing? Nobody was born a great artist from birth. To create something new, you have to learn first. That is the basis for medicine, law, engineering, science, and yes art! AI learns then creates. That should not stop you from doing what you love. It's like being mad there are other artists besides you in the world.

I'm worried about the environmental impact of AI. Does Opera have any policy about disclosing their carbon footprint?

Thank you to the Opera team for their hard work in implementing these useful new features.
Now the working with Opera browser is even more convenient! -

@waplesmaples Frankly, I don't give a damn about carbon footprints, and neither should you - there is only so much carbon around and if it turns into plastic, that is rather inert and harmless. Much as pebbles of limestone contain carbon - or even concrete. If you are worried about carbon footprints, you probably have too much time on your hands and fail to understand chemistry - after all, it is a building block of life:
According to Aria: "A 100 kg human body contains approximately:18.5 kg of carbon
This carbon is primarily found in the form of organic compounds within the body's tissues and cells.
Carbon is a fundamental element found in all living organisms, including humans. It plays a crucial role in the structure of biological molecules such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids that are essential for life processes." -

@RMKAY Looks like I hit a nerve for you here. Carbon emissions have been proven for many decades to be a significant driver of our climate crisis, and research into the environmental impact of AI has shown possible worrying outcomes. As another commenter mentioned, it looks like the team behind Opera is doing its best to mitigate climate concerns. But for a bit more context on the issue, I would recommend watching this video from PBS News Hour: https://youtu.be/VOezW-b_mD8?t=118&si=yVvp9zpT5fqII492

@waplesmaples I think one needs to consider the long view here, which is that a mere 20,000 years ago, much of Europe was covered by vast ice sheets, and was uninhabitable. Nobody can explain why the ice melted, so unless the scientists can explain it, their opinions are actually useless.
CO2 is a brilliant fertilizer, and deserts are blooming as CO2 levels increase. -

@RMKAY Unless you are personally a climate scientist, I see no reason to consider your arguments significant. If you are a climate scientist, please let me know where I can find your research.

@waplesmaples I'm not a climate scientist, and I will trust them only when they can explain how we escaped from the last Ice Age so recently, if they cannot do that simple little thing, then why should be trust them to predict the next 20,000 years climate, exactly?
