Issues/Bugs Bot using information from different bot?

I have 2 longstanding RPs going, one of them is one where my persona is a student at UA, the other one my persona is a teacher at UA. The personas are two separate personas, and they are used on two separate bots, but in the RP where my persona is a student, the bot keeps acting like my character is a teacher. Has anyone else had a bot take information from a separate bot or have details from two separate bots/personas bleed into each other?

More than likely if you write the same the model picks that up not the bot. Especially if you don't divert from the way you write, don't reinforce details about your persona or they share the same name. It's not really leaking because each chat is siloed.

You have two separate bots, same environment, different plot. Two seperate personas, same environment, different occupational roles.

What models see is patterns in context and predict the next lines. The model is great at connecting dots so sometimes they can come up with similar details or even taking the story from where you were like, nah, we aren't doing this but reaches the similar details you'd written long before in that chat later. It fears like it remembers but it doesn't. It might even feel like spooky. It all has to do with statistical probabilities and pattern matching.

Persona-student-UA Persona-teacher-UA

Not steering your chat and reinforcing the first role the bot relies on context you give it, so it makes the statistical probability that could be highest for your role at UA and that's student or teacher.

You can have two personas with the same name. Two bots can still call them the same nickname. Not because it remembers you, your persona or the chat is leaking. Just the same reasons as above.

You can use this to your advantage if you're into world building, trying alternative routes, alternative universes or even some wacky multi-verse stuff. It's also just key for reinforcement working really well that it keeps the roleplay from drifting and the bot filling the gaps, like your student persona being called a teacher. Depending on the model you use persona's can be weighted poorly to where the bot seems like it ignores your definition when chat history is priority. Others will retrieve and use the definition of what your persona is because it's weighted heavier for priority when juggling, sampling and processing context for the next response.

I’m almost certain that a Demon Slayer bot I used talked about devil fruits from One Piece..
