Testers of Apple's Intelligence AI features in macOS Sequoia beta have discovered plaintext JSON files containing specific conditions to guide the AI's responses. Stored in a designated folder, these files offer prompts that instruct the generative AI to behave in a helpful and factual manner. Phrases like 'Do not make up factual information' and functional prompts for features like Apple's Mail Smart Reply are examples of how Apple is refining its AI capabilities. These carefully outlined prompts have a utilitarian purpose, directing the AI to perform specific tasks like generating concise replies and summarizing messages without adding misinformation. Some prompts even highlight minor grammatical issues, emphasizing the ongoing nature of these enhancements. The specificity of these prompts is designed to curb the unpredictable or erroneous behavior commonly seen in earlier AI models. Apple's approach in making these files user-accessible could offer significant transparency and improvement in AI moderation. While the public beta for Apple Intelligence will launch later this fall, it's slated to miss the initial release of iOS 18.0, iPadOS 18.0, and macOS 15.0. Certain features will be available sooner, but full integration, including new Siri functionalities, may take longer. For optimal performance, Apple Intelligence will require recent hardware with at least an Apple M1 chip.
