You have to prompt it correctly, non-instruction-aligned models don't behave like agent simulators by default.

Surely it would work with a format like:

User: <question or task>

Assistant:

Useless!? C'mon.

it's not that useless, you just have to prompt it the right way (usually by offering an example of the kind of output you want)

So, you need to know how to tune it.

It's still useful, but you need to know how to use it.

Try giving it a simple request instead ;)
