Oh, it was! But the guy that generated it insisted that he triple-checked the prose after, and it should be treated as typed by hand
I'm pretty sure it would be okay to stop at 5-10 questions, because it was clear he couldn't answer any. But my friend is from a hateful branch, and so she went for humiliation angle of asking for as much clarification as the ticket itself allowed
I have a very similar situation. Except it isn't even a ticket, just an export of a very long "conversation" with ChatGPT with a vague indication that this is what needs to be implemented. When questioned about it, the person insists they completely understood it before but just forgot after a few days. Sometimes the prompts are removed. Lots of contradictory material in it, some doesn't make sense even in context. Very difficult to figure out what is wanted.

I don't doubt this, to be honest.
I have the feeling of learning a lot when coding with agents. New features, patterns, entire languages... It's very satisfactory asking questions and getting answers in as much detail as you want, with examples, etc.
Except I forget it all soon after. Because I didn't put the effort. Easy come easy goes .
I'm continually flabbergasted that this is accepted and not immediate grounds for punitive action- plopping slop into a ticket (or having it generated directly) is straight-up disrespectful to the person on the other end. I'd rather have someone slap me in the face directly than get one of these tickets.
