I find it easier to just leave the carriers out for a while after each use (like a week) and open so they treat them like the boxes. Never had a cat hate a carrier since.
I leave ours out and open all the time, even toss a toothy-treat in there occasionally. She will poke her head in and steal a treat, but she still doesn't trust the carrier. I wouldn't either, never knowing if I'd get locked in and find myself at a doctor's appointment.

someone should try putting a cardboard box in the carrier

Has anyone had the bright idea of taking their cat to the vet in the cardboard box it refuses to get out of?

One is willingly, the other is not. Consent makes all the difference. No matter if human or animal.
