Another slightly borked one https://manifold.markets/TonyGao/when-will-ai-matchmakers-exist

No. There isn't a way for the creator to know that the auto clarification was added

I like the idea but which it was more clear that it was happening instead of doing it “auto-magically”. Maybe a checkbox below the create comment field if you are the market owner that says “add clarification to description”?

Yes, but the way it shows up in the UI is not great.

It's exceptionally useful but just needs to be refined.

Ultimately this just comes down to tardiness of users: its super easy to just add these clarifications in ourselves, but most fail to do so hence why the comment section ends up becoming part of the resolution criteria (seasoned users will look at the comment section for more context).

I mention this because the main way this gets solved is when a clarification is made - imo - the author should be prompted if they a) accept the clarification is correct, and b) want it added to the description. If the author fails to accept the prompt, mods could also accept on their behalf. To make this a bit more stringent, you could have the feature actually evaluate whether the user has posted a clarification BEFORE the comment is posted and then prompt the user something along the lines of:

• "This sounds like a useful clarification for other users. We suggest adding X to the resolution criteria {accept / decline / accept & modify}"

Here are some other suggestions (in order of importance):

• Manifold needs to, in some way, commit to these clarifications being binding in terms of resolution, otherwise the feature is just going to become more redundant and cause further repeated issues.

• Clarifications need to be better formatted to avoid mess.

  • Bullet points should be used.

  • The following text format should be used:

    • {disclaimer / warning} {list of clarifications}:

      • {timestamp} {clarification_1} {comment link}

      • {timestamp} {clarification_2} {comment link}

• Disclaimer / warning needs to be more explicit and noticeable if the author is not prompted to accept / modify / review the clarification.

• Clarifications should be retroactively removed and modified so that we don't have 101 different clarifications and to avoid contradictions.

P.S. where's the bounty?? ;)

I would vote yes if there was an opt out
