Strongly disagree that they're terrible at asking questions.

They're terrible at asking questions unless you ask them to... at which point they ask good, sometimes fantastic questions.

All my major prompts now have some sort of "IMPORTANT: before you begin you must ask X clarifying questions. Ask them one at a time, then reevaluate the next question based on the response"

X is typically 2–5, which I find DRASTICALLY improves output.
