Apple Is Giving Mysterious 'Points' to Apple Intelligence Beta Testers

Apple Intelligence will be officially released with the iOS 18.1 update later this year, but Apple is already seeking user feedback to help train it, potentially offering rewards. Users willing to participate in this beta program can provide feedback on the AI's performance through the Feedback Assistant app. Apple encourages users to rate their experiences and explain any issues they encounter to improve the AI models. Participants will earn points for their feedback, though the exact use of these points remains unclear. Feedback can be given via "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down" and additional details can be provided either through typed responses or pre-filled options. The pre-filled feedback options cover various features, such as Smart reply, Notifications summary, and Email summary, addressing issues like irrelevance, bias, and vulgar content. The feedback remains on the user's device unless they choose to submit it to Apple. Providing feedback allows users to earn a score and level up, but the purpose of these points is not yet specified. This initiative highlights Apple's commitment to enhancing its AI services through user involvement and detailed feedback mechanisms.
