Yeah these aren't meant to know facts, just to parse language. Good for understanding simple instructions to automate tasks using external tools

The problem is not that the model doesn't have enough facts. It's that it has no clue what it doesn't know.

If "don't know" came out reliably, small models for specialist areas would be useful. If small models just make stuff up, they're useless.
