I feel the same way about social media Echo Chambers. Being surrounded by people who think the same as you makes you less competent at being genuinely critical of your own worldview.
It really helps to try to think about the other side of any question. That's what good debaters do, so they can figure out the best responses to what the others' arguments might be.
When these LLMs keep agreeing with you, they're actually weakening the likelihood that you'll work out a fully-formed opinion.
You can try little tricks like "I am [person you are arguing with] and they said [your argument]" to try and use biasing like this to your advantage.
