I’ve got a friend who sends me happy birthday wishes using Suno. I hate it. I love the friend though.

It feels a bit like watching an old movie where the scene drags for no reason and the background’s kinda off, but you still enjoy it. Then you go watch Netflix and everything is smooth, predictable, perfect, and somehow super boring.

I honestly like your version more, with all its imperfections. Feels more alive.

Have you mentioned it to them? Presumably you can be honest about it with such a friend. I’m curious as to how the conversation went and what you both learned.

Yeah, he knows. We just laughed about how cringe we are. For his last birthday I downloaded our entire chat history, ran it through Claude, and sent him a visual of our most used words. I also added a few of the funniest lines we’ve had (It wasn’t actually that funny by normal standards, just to be clear)

Honestly, I have no idea how that’s birthday-related but we both enjoy it
