 function Convert-ImageToAsciiArt {  
 <#
  .SYNOPSIS
     Function to convert an image to ascii art.
     
  .DESCRIPTION
     The function Convert-ImageToAsciiArt takes an image file path and converts the image to ASCII art.
     The ASCII art is created by replacing each pixel in the image with an ASCII character based on the brightness of the pixel.
     The ASCII characters used are specified in the $chars variable, and their brightness is determined by the grayscale value of the original pixel.
