MANIFOLD
Will Manifold stop using AI to make my questions worse by the end of 2025?

Resolved
NO

Manifold recently added a feature where AI can edit my market description without my consent. Naturally these edits are terrible, frequently containing incorrect information and not understanding what the market is about at all.

This resolves YES if there's a way for me to turn this off, or it's removed entirely, or the AI gets smart enough that it stops making detrimental edits, or it otherwise stops annoying me.

  • Update 2025-02-19 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Arbitration Costs:

    • Paying for arbitration costs will not count as a valid solution to the issue.

Sorry for the delay. In general I don't mind if mods resolve markets for me provided they're sure of the correct resolution. Please don't N/A stuff though.

@IsaacKing thank you.

@IsaacKing Why the delay?

@IsaacKing Time to resolve!

@IsaacKing Or just N/A if it's unclear?

Pinging @IsaacKing again, as well as @mods

@Primer I messaged Isaac off-platform so hopefully he will resolve soon

@IsaacKing it has been over 6 months since 2025 ended, should probably decide on this one.

@Eliza Or just N/A this. Seems Isaac doesn't care that much anymore.

@IsaacKing Boop!

I got a heartbeat from Isaac. Other Mods, do not N/A this.

And?

it now prompts you to confirm clarifications instead of automatically applying them, does this count?

@strutheo it will auto-apply after an hour, just fyi

sold Ṁ58 NO

@ian I like this. A lot.

@ian FYI this appears to be bugged

@IsaacKing oh gotta redeploy the scheduler

If only it would do this unprompted

@IsaacKing If I went across all of your markets and made a comment asking if you wanted that exact string in your description, and all you had to do was answer yes to each one, and the AI smuggled the string in with this method, would you resolve this market YES?

And, secondly, do I have your permission and blessing to do that?

@Quroe Hmm, no :)

@IsaacKing Market aside, I believe you could modify the script to not only do old markets, but also monitor for newly created markets and edit them once found. Needing to have a background job running at all times would be annoying on its own, but perhaps less-so

This gives me an idea for a market
