My experience slightly differs: yes, LLMs are not the best entities to discuss innovative scientific ideas that one has in mind, but they are still often much more competent discussion partners on such topics than the people you are typically surrounded with (e.g. work colleagues).

(no, this is not a template for a Reddit /r/iamverysmart/ post :-) , but just my experience).
