Hm. One problem with frequently bouncing ideas off of ChatGPT- it's not just that it's a bit sycophantic and built to get you addicted to a bit of praise (I've read that a foolish optimism can be useful anyway- like, yes, the depressive view is often more technically accurate tactically, but strategically speaking optimism gets more stuff done, so long as you don't Dunning–Kruger yourself and overreach) - I'm worried about how it primes you to steamroll conversations in general. LLMs generally end their passage with suggestions for next steps, but it's ok to ignore them and/or change the subject entirely in a way that would be a bad habit to form if talking to humans.
