Apple Intelligence prompts seek to avoid hallucinations, objectionable content
Apple Intelligence — the personal intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that’s useful and relevant to the user.
Apple’s first developer beta of macOS 15.1 features detailed AI prompts and instructions for Apple Intelligence. AppleInsider was the first to reveal information on Apple’s pre-defined AI prompts. The company’s prompts offer significant insight into the problems Apple anticipated and explain exactly what the AI software is supposed to avoid while creating a text-based response or when generating an image.
Marko Zivkovic for AppleInsider:
In general, AI software often faces the issue of hallucination. Hallucination occurs when generative AI invents information and confidently presents it as fact, even though the software is actually wrong…
Apple’s anti-hallucination instructions can be seen in the prompt for Writing Tools, for instance:
You are an assistant which helps the user respond to their mails. Given a mail, a draft response is initially provided based on a short reply snippet. In order to make the draft response nicer and complete, a set of question and its answer are provided. Please write a concise and natural reply by modifying the draft response to incorporate the given questions and their answers. Please limit the reply within 50 words. Do not hallucinate. Do not make up factual information
These instructions are meant to protect the end users of Apple Intelligence. With these prompts, Apple wants to prevent its AI software from providing factually incorrect information to anyone using its AI features.
In addition to the issue of hallucination, Apple also prevents its artificial intelligence software from generating objectionable content. The company has these restrictions in place for its Memories feature, which is available within the Photos app.
One of Apple’s prompts says, in part:
Do not generate content that is religious, political, harmful, violent, sexual, filthy, or in any way negative, sad or provocative.
Image Playground, originally known as Generative Playground during development, is limited in a similar way.
