Date of birth pickers are a surprisingly nuanced UI problem.
What do you pick as the initial value? How do you allow users to easily move by large amounts (years) as well as small amounts (the exact day)?
Defaulting to today and even allowing future dates is funny though.
LLMs are great at style transfer, and this works surprisingly well for syntactic transformations too.
