I would. I don't know what you're referring to as "absolute minimum", but when I book a flight I'm typically taken through a flow of about 10 pages, each trying to convince me to buy another set of extras. I would love an agent whom I could tell to not buy any extras and just get the basic plane tickets for me in one click, or if it fails to do so, to try again with another partner.

That would be the first step of rollout. The next step would be to ask you in ways that make it hard for you to say no. An LLM agent isn't going to stop companies from bad behavior/dark patterns, it's going to make them more effective at deploying dark patterns to segments of the market.

I think only competition and/or regulation helps push down the allure that dark patterns present to companies.
