My advice would be: It can't agree with you if you don't tell it what you think. So don't. Be careful about leading questions (clever hans effect) though.

So better than "I'm thinking of solving x by doing y" is "What do you think about solving x by doing y" but better still is "how can x be solved?" and only mention "y" if it's spinning its wheels.
