It's not only pointlessly verbose, it ruins the intention behind the input! The user wants to know if they allow dogs, not pets. They can get a "yes we allow some pets" response and now they have to start all over to figure out which pets those are, whether dogs are included, etc.

This is a shitload of computational expenditure to make things objectively worse by introducing an entirely new class of problem to the original message. It's literally "I had a problem, so I used AI, and now I have two problems"
