Amazon Prime Video scraps AI-powered TV show recaps after 'Fallout' fallout
"Given the length of time it can take for the new season of your favorite TV show to come out, it's understandable that you might want a little video recap of what's happened so far. Ideally, that recap is accurate. Fans of Amazon's hit show "Fallout" said that wasn't the case in its AI-made synopsis of season one, released ahead of the hit show's new season next week. Fans quickly spotted factual errors, and Amazon Prime Video took down the recap."
"One Redditor said the AI feature told viewers that a flashback featuring the Ghoul (one of the main characters, played by Walton Goggins) took place in the 1950s instead of 2077. An X user posted that the recap also mischaracterized the agreement the Ghoul and Lucy MacLean (played by Ella Purnell) made in the "Fallout" finale. Instead of saying the pair is teaming up to find Lucy's father, the recap said the Ghoul gave Lucy an ultimatum: "die or join him.""
Amazon Prime Video introduced an AI-powered Video Recap feature in November to let users catch up on Prime Original TV shows between seasons. Video Recaps use AI to identify key plot points and combine them with synchronized voice narration, dialogue snippets, and music to create a visual summary preparing viewers for a new season. Fans of Fallout identified factual errors in the season one AI synopsis, including a misdated flashback and a mischaracterized agreement between the Ghoul and Lucy MacLean. Fans spotted the inaccuracies quickly, and Amazon Prime Video removed the recap. Testing reportedly included Jack Ryan, Upload, Bosch, and The Rig.
