If I am evaluating how intelligent an AI is against a human then IMO it's only fair they both get the same prompt. It should be counted as a fault of the AI if it can't understand the prompt as well as the human, or another AI. That's all part of being a useful entity, how well you understand a prompt and how well you can infer the original meaning from what prompt you have been given.
