Apple Intelligence won't officially ship until the iOS 18.1 update later this year, but Apple's already asking for users to help train it, and it looks like the company might even reward them. That includes you, assuming you're willing to jump through a couple of hoops.
Apple's beta programs have always been big on feedback, so it's not a surprise that its Generative AI efforts are taking the same approach. Here, Apple wants you to tell it if its AI is doing a good job or not, and if it didn't, what's going wrong. Your feedback will then be used to train and improve Apple Intelligence services and the AI models behind the scenes.
For your trouble, Apple will even provide you with some points. What exactly you can do with these points is not entirely clear right now, but I'm hoping they can be redeemed to get a paid upgrade for Apple Intelligence down the line.
You can start your feedback under "Rate Your Experiences" in the Feedback Assistant app, which will be automatically installed with your beta. This is what Apple says about the Rate Your Experiences feature:
Help improve Apple products and services! Content such as your emails from the Mail app and messages from the Messages app will be displayed to you, along with content generated from them for Apple Intelligence features. This data always remains on your device unless you choose to submit it to Apple, after rating your experience.
The app will guide you through some recently generated AI results, and will ask for your feedback. You can respond as "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down", depending on your experience. If your experience wasn't good, Apple will ask you to provide some more details. You can either type out a response, or you can choose from one the pre-filled options.
You will find pre-filled feedback options for many Apple Intelligence features, including Smart reply, Notifications summary, Email summary, prioritized emails, Image Playground, Writing Tools, and more.
Some pre-filled options for Email summary include:
Hard to understand
Missed key detail
Incorrect attributions
Too long
Irrelevant additions
Stereotyping or bias
Overly suggestive or sexual
Vulgar or offensive
Other
Once you provide feedback, Apple will show you a score with your earned points, where you can level up by providing more feedback. As we mentioned above, Apple hasn't made it clear what your points will be used for. As noted by Apple above, the generative AI data and the feedback prompts stay on your device by default. But you can choose to submit the data to Apple after rating.
