Does ChatGPT output response in Markdown?

In MS Copilot, every time I am interacting with ChatGPT I see the response firs appearing as markdown and then immediately formatted inline.

Does ChatGPT have a hidden instruction to output in Markdown ?

I believe many LLMs have this training. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get the foundation models to output just a JSON object, without the ```json ... ``` around it.

It's certainly a convenient format to output, simple for the LLM, easy to parse, render, and style for UIs
