The key is to remember what they are: bags of weights which you’re throwing some data into.
In that sense they can’t offer advice because the “know” nothing.
But they can reframe, they can reflect. They can take one idea and reflect it into another intellectual framework.
I’ve used them a lot like this to help get perspective on life decisions. But not for advice.
Try something like: I have to do x and y, give me multiple psych perspectives on this problem from different schools. I find this takes something abstract (your problem) and grounds it in things it actually knows (the sum of ingestible human knowledge).
