Does it? If i make a system prompt for most models right now, tell them they were trained on {list} of datasets, and to attribute their answer to their training data, i get quite similar output. It even seems quite reasonable. The reason being each data corpus has a "vibe" to it and the predictions simply assign response vibe to dataset vibe.
