Yes, I have definitely witnessed this as well.

I think, I hope, this will be fixable to some degree, but at this moment I believe it's best to communicate in Queen's English and try to maintain the level of clarity of thought you expect of them in return.

My pet theory is that actual real conversations they were trained on with bad grammar and spelling are in general relatively starved of proper reasoning. By talking to them in this fashion you activate their lowbrow patterns and while it may not be catastrophic I can't imagine it helps.

Also, quite simply, the output is a function of the requirements and the context. If you can't communicate clearly what the situation is and what you want, what do you expect the LLM to do, read your mind?

Oh yes, the part where actual crucial non-derivable information was left out certainly comes into play as well. I suspect many people underestimate the sheer magnitude of implicit cultural and organizational knowledge they and their colleagues carry with them. It's always part of their context in everything they do, so to speak and they expect the "bots" to carry this as well (without giving it to them).
