This relies on a feature of human communication that the LLMs do not have an approach for: empathy. I am able to discern meaning from ambiguity because I can put myself in your shoes and decide what you probably meant.
Computers can probabalistically guess what was meant in natural language, but it will be missing out on enormous context of who the speaker is and what they're attempting to achieve (granted, you could provide this context in text form to the LLM, but then you are no longer taking advantage of the human ability to disambiguate, instead relying on verbosity and redundancy to constrain the LLM to catching your drift)
