I wonder if/how AI personal agents would be able to help in this regard, trained to spot when attention is being manipulated in a certain way and inform you of that. Like the sunk cost fallacy, which is also in that list, it can offer you a warning like: "You are entering a step by step procedure, this can trick your mind into finalizing the purchase even if you are not very committed yet." - or something like: "Prices and quantities in this list seem to be manipulated in a way that tricks your mind into buying more than you actually need." and similar like these.

Yeah that gave me a chuckle.
Vastly more likely outcome will be any more advanced technology we create will be used to identify that we could be manipulated more.
Given that is all we have thus far done with any advanced technology we have created, it seems reasonable that we will continue on this same path.
Unless we are acted upon by some significant force.
