So a crazy thing happened. In a crime thriller film called Les chambres rouges (Red Rooms, 2023) there is a scene where the hacker protagonist is attempting to purchase a snuff film in online auction. The auction happens via IRC or IRC-like chatting environment and to my surprise there's actually me @rolle and my wife @mustikkasoppa who are one of the bidders.
1) The nickname of my wife is mistakenly written as "mustikasoppa" (with one k) but if I recall correctly she has used a mistakenly written nickname in the past
2) We are both operators and on the same IRC channel as we've been for the past 17 years
This is not a coincidence. One nickname can be made up by accident but not two with these features and definitely not in a French movie. My wife's nick "mustikkasoppa" is Finnish and means "blueberry soup".
Our IRC logs are more or less public because of open source and statistics so I presume the scene has been made with chatgpt which has scraped our nicks from the Internet so that they ended up in the movie. We still chat via IRC every day together.
The era of AI... Do your background check, folks. I'm glad this wasn't a dramatized documentary film but a complete fiction. However my wife and I are real. Mixed feelings.

I think the film is Canadian though. I studied French back in the days and the language is not a issue here I think. The movie also contained some English.

But prior to that the language models have gone through the Internet and we've been chatting in IRC for 17+ years. Do your math. @mustikkasoppa

Unknown parent • • •@alextecplayz Yes, the protagonist's nick is probably in the script. But not mine and my wife's. Mustikkasoppa is not from King Arthur that's for sure.
Also one thing to consider is that this is not the only occasion where this happened. Some time ago I was contacted by a person who used chatgpt to generate random chat and again my nick and my wife's popped up. A lightning doesn't strike twice to the same spot.

in reply to Stefan Baur 6 * 💉 • • •@farbenstau Very good morning from Finland! It's 9:20 and I'm just eating breakfast.
You asked about blueberry soup. I'll answer that blueberry soup is the real deal. Here in Finland, we use Finnish wild berries, or bilberries, for bilberry soup. Bilberries have a more intense and strong flavor. The color of the berry is also darker. These berries grow here in the forest and we can collect them ourselves for free as many as we can fit in buckets. 😂👌
Here is the recipe for bilberry soup (In finnish ’mustikkakeitto’ or ’mustikkasoppa’):
