@mustikkasoppa & @rolle -- This might be strange and out of the blue (or maybe not). I asked #ChatGPT to generate a TUI IRC-style client for something I'm testing and it generated some "sample" messages. Except it might not be so sample and I think it might be you two?

Wow. Yes, that’s us! We’ve always used these nicnnames on IRC and we actually met in IRC 18 years ago. And we still use IRC daily.

The log files of our IRC channel have always been public so no wonder they are food for AI bots. https://www.pulina.fi - Example: https://www.pulina.fi/pul/pulina-2020-01.log - There are logs for almost 20 years like that.

The discussion there doesn’t make sense though, those lines might be randomly selected from logs over the years or then invented by AI from that:

rolle: it's really outrageous :D
mustikkasoppa: rolle are you reading this :D
rolle: mustikkasoppa: I almost never adjust the font myself
rolle: soppa [side note: shortened nickname from mustikkasoppa] yeah as soon as I'm home
mustikkasoppa: something nice but something I've cheated [side note: the word used here means like cheating on a test on school]

Not 100% perfect Finnish sentences there either, it’s definitely partly made up by AI but it’s also most certainly taken from our logs.
