Can this help people cut through UX dark patterns? Like for example, "unsubscribe from all communications and I mean all" or "turn on the strongest privacy settings even the ones they try very hard to hide" or "order this on amazon and make sure to choose free delivery even if it's not the default"

Just wait until these dark patterns start to include prompt-injecting the agents used by end users.
Christ...

I wish I had something more curious to say.

Other than "Operator/Agent, please surface all sites using prompt injecting and just go ahead and cancel my account, and send a complaint to the appropriate authorities BBB/Reddit/CANSPAM"

I'm sure that in time money will prevent this from being a feature
really good use case there haha
