Well, today's multimodal llm agents with tools would at least have a good chance to do something with even such an underspecified query. Because fixing things is simpler to specify, the agent could look at config, network settings, send a test email, take a screenshot etc and get a good idea of what's broken. But when you want some new feature or new app, you can't do without actually asking for specifics, or at least you shouldn't complain if it didn't read your mind correctly. Or at least accept that you have to iterate. I think many average people can get this if they are motivated, and they can incrementally say what they don't like even in vague terms and it can get better. But some just stop without trying to ask for changes.

It can be frustrating to observe people interacting with these things. But it was just as frustrating 20 years ago, so maybe it's just a constant.
