I'm finding AI great to have a conversation with to flesh out ideas, with the added benefit it can summarize everything at the end

You're being steered without being aware of it.

I do this a lot. Start by telling the AI to just listen and only provide feedback when asked. Lay out your current line of thinking conversationally. Periodically ask the AI to summarize/organize your thoughts "so far". Tactically ask for research into a decision or topic you aren't sure about and then make a decision inline.

Then once I feel like I have addressed all the areas, I ask for a "critical" review, which usually pokes holes in something that I need to fix. Finally have the AI draft up a document (Though you have to generally tell it to be as concise and clear as possible).
