I would really love if they figured out how to train a model that doesn't have any such knowledge baked it, but knows where to look for it. Maybe even has a clever database for that. Knowing this kind of trivia like this consistently of the top of your head is a sign of deranged mind, artificial or not.

Would that work as well? If I ask a big model to write like Shakespeare it just knows intuitively how to do that. If it didn't and had to look up how to do that, I'm not sure it would do a good job.

The problem is that these models can't reason about what they do and do not know, so right now you basically need to tune it to: 1) always look up all trivia, or 2) occasionally look up trivia when it "seems complex" enough.
