Yes, if you're smart. But most people asking it random questions and expecting it to read their minds and spit out the perfect answer are not so much. They don't know what a prompt is, and wouldn't be bothered to give it prior instructions either way.
I think that the type of people who can easily pick up subtext have come to rely on that channel of communication and don't realize they need to be more direct and verbose when chatting with language models.
Educated, not smart. This is a job for schools to include AI education into the basic curricula. Their pupils will use the tools anyway, so at least teach them to do it with proper expectations and prompting techniques/pitfalls.
