Do you have good examples of tasks in which dubious verbal prompt could be an acceptable outcome?

By the way, I noticed:

Do not confuse LLMs with general AI. Notably, general AI was also implemented in system where critical failures would be intolerable - i.e., made to be reliable, or part of a finally reliable process.

Checking documents for compliance with a corporate style guide
