So, if the user likes UI’s that don’t change, the LLM will figure out that it should do nothing?

One problem LLM’s don’t fix is the misalignment between app developers’ incentives and users’ incentives. Since the developer controls the LLM, I imagine that a “smart” shifting UI would quickly devolve into automated dark patterns.

A user who doesn't want such changes shouldn't be subjected to them in the first place, so there should be nothing for an LLM to figure out.

I'm with you on disliking dark patterns but it seems to me a separate issue.
