To be fair, it isn't aware of what source it's using. It's not "referencing" anything in particular. It's just trained to replicate a bunch of data. It doesn't understand it or anything. It doesn't know what came from one source and what came from another, and how accurate any of those are, or what the context of it is. It just generates something that resembles it's data based on the input.
