The Birthday Paradox is about a group of people sharing at least one birthday between them. If it was at least 1 person out of 23 people sharing YOUR birthday then the odds would be 1 - (364/365)^23 which is around 0.06 (or 6% chance). So, yes, this scenario is a lot less likely.

When educating the general public about the risks and limitation of LLMs, I think "hallucinating" is a useful term - it is something people can understand and it conveys the idea of LLMs being somewhat random and unreliable in their responses. I'm not sure "confabulating" is so easily understood or accessible.

> ... can I do these trails on my full suspension mountain bike...?

Yes. It will be a bit more work on the pedalling front vs a dedicated gravel bike, but I doubt you will encounter any bike snobbery. I have gravel trails near where I live, and you see all kinds of bikes tackling them.

Yeah. Sorry about that. HN seems to auto remove the ellipses when you paste in the title.
