I guess it's the subject shift from _you_ to _any two people from a group_ that creates the surprise in the birthday paradox. You definitely need way more than 23 randomly sampled people to get to a high probability that _you_ specifically share a birthday with one of them, and the result does not contradict that notion.
Sup-par phrasing is a subtle advantage of non-AI generated text. In the past, I would be put off by this bad phrasing and the typo ("requier") in the text, but these days, it's a signal that a human took the time to write this, which makes me happy to see.
..or is it "sub-par"?
