For future reference, any information ChatGPT has "about itself" (as you seem to have asked) would have to be hard-coded into its context. Usually, it's a safe bet that if you ask it questions like that - it's going to come up with some handwavey nonsense that sounds like the "privacy-preserving" approach. Or in short, ChatGPT doesn't have any clue about the details of the various frontends used to serve it.
