Ugh, good read yet sad content. The irony of complimenting your writing by using the antithesis of word choice and structure to express emotions. If she was looking to make it easier, then she saw your birthday message as a chore. This is the tech way to have your assistant write and sign your birthday card. It's the exact opposite of consideration, just rude and tacky.

Happy birthday tho! ♥

damn, man, this is a gutpunch :| I’d be similarly dismayed

your friend who sends you audio recordings of them from various places they’re in sounds like a keeper - it’s great of them to share bits of their world with you in that manner :D

At a point in my life I too would have made this mistake. I have been oblivious to how the things I did would make others feel.
It is easy to want to write what we think the other person wants to hear from us, when the reality is that a single sentence that a person has taken the time and thought to write, is far more valuable than word noise generated from a plagiarism machine.

I hope she understands, or you get a chance to explain that to her at some point.

oh and a belated happy birthday to you!

And sorry for your sad experience. Annoying how AI is degrading our supposedly genuine interactions (both by people using it like this, and people interpreting a honest message like AI (I do feel a bit sorry for all the people working in low level customer support who in addition to all the normal bullshit now have to deal with AI accusations for example)).

was one of the things I thought of too but fet (and also dating/meeting apps) has a longstanding problem of people catfishing. on balance, suspect this form is the more likely case

it's .... not endemic, in the sense of "you'll hit it every 3 profiles" (because fet community + platform seems to do a reasonably good job of handling it from reports etc), but you can see why it's the type of thing that creeps and predators go for

igwym re exploration. comfort, safety, trust, consent - all key. never do anything you don't want to :)

On the one hand I get why people would use LLMs to write their messages (finding the right words is hard). On the other hand, man is this dystopian. At some point you might as well just send the prompt directly, it has the same amount of information.

I wanted to see a tired typo in her email from a hard days work. I wanted her to mix up my age. I wanted to see the imperfections in the tired as fuck email because the fact she still wrote to me, even though she was tired and would’ve wrote down my incorrect age, the fact that she thought about me enough to craft something personal would have made everything worth it. @MBM

Sometimes you need to be blunt, and just tell the other person how you feel. You don't need to always understand your friend's emotions and motivations thoroughly, and you're allowed to disagree on things.

I'd tell this Karren:

"a happy birthday message, to me, is that you cared to put effort into something special for me. Even if the result is terrible"

It gets the point across, even if it can be difficult to say. That's just how life is sometimes.

Putting this out there for the world to agree with you on how you dislike what she did? That doesn't sound kind, nice or a thing a good friend would do. In fact it's how some little kids fight in front of their parents.

She'll probably call you back after what you did here

I'm pro-AI, but not pro-AI in the sense of, "turn these bullet-points into a verbose email," and not pro-AI for personal communication like this. I hope this kind of stuff doesn't become common. It's like going in the opposite direction of "SMS language" (which I view favorably).
