ChatGPT cites a worker's own Reddit post as the source for his question about it

A Reddit user asked ChatGPT how long absence points typically take to appear after his company rolled out a new point-based attendance system. The answer cited "workers are accumulating points today" — with the source being his own Reddit post from earlier that day. He never shared his Reddit username with ChatGPT, raising questions about whether it was an eerie coincidence (many employees post about the same employer) or some implicit linking of his identity to his Reddit account.
