Overview
- The AI-made Season 1 summary for Fallout was removed after viewers and reporters flagged factual mistakes, including misdating flashback scenes and misrepresenting key events.
- Outlets observed that the Video Recaps option also disappeared from other test titles, including The Rig, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Upload, and Bosch.
- Amazon introduced Video Recaps in November as a generative-AI tool that stitches clips with an AI voiceover to provide quick season refreshers, which a Prime Video executive had touted as “groundbreaking.”
- The pullback follows recent AI stumbles on Prime Video, including AI-generated English dubs for anime that the company withdrew after complaints about quality.
- Amazon has not issued a detailed explanation or new safeguards, and attention is heightened with Fallout Season 2 scheduled to debut on December 17.
