Television presenters and interview subjects are coached to answer questions like that, repeating the question before answering it- I wonder if that's where ChatGPT picked up that particular habit.
The Song Exploder podcast does this very well; each episode is recorded as an interview between the host and the artist, but because the artist is answering the questions with a restatement of the question, they can edit it so that it just sounds like the artist talking through their project (you almost never hear the host ask a question).
