Maybe I'm missing something, but why wouldn't that be expected? The chat history isn't their only source of information - these models are trained on scraped public data. Unless there's zero information about you and your family on the public internet (in which case - bravo!), I would expect even a "fresh" LLM to have some information even without you giving it any.

I think you are underestimating how notable a person needs to be for their information to be baked into a model.

LLMs can learn from a single example.

That doesn’t mean they learn from every single example.
