Description:
Prime Video's new AI-powered recaps just made two big mistakes with its
Fallout season one recap.

FULL STORY

Prime Video s new AI-powered recaps for TV shows arent quite living up to their expectations, and users have noticed incorrect details during the recap of Fallout season one including the year in which it was set.

This couldnt come at a more awkward time for the platform, which is currently preparing for the arrival of Fallout season two on December 17.

As spotted by GamesRadar, the season one recap features an AI voiceover thats layered over a series of video highlights from the show, but incorrectly
states that The Ghouls (Walter Goggins) flashback scenes are set during the 1950s -- when they actually take place in the year 2077.

It doesnt end there, however, as the AI recap also failed to give an accurate summary of the season finale, framing The Ghouls offer to Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) as a join or die situation, when it couldnt be further from the
truth. This was also picked up on by GamesRadar, which reiterates that the season one finale instead presented a chance for both characters to find the man "behind the wheel" in New Vegas, where the two will venture in Fallout season two.

Amazon started trialling AI-powered recaps just last month and is one of the latest additions to Prime Videos ecosystem. But following the mistakes it
made with its Fallout recap, the company has seemingly pulled them from a handful of its popular shows, including The Rig , Tom Clancys Jack Ryan , Upload , and Bosch, The Verge reports.

When Amazon first revealed it was introducing AI-powered recaps for its TV shows, the company shared that the purpose was to identify a shows most important plot points, combining them with synchronized voice narration, dialogue snippets, and music to create a visual summary that prepares viewers for the new season.

While Prime Videos AI-generated recaps have proven adept at compiling highlights of a TV show and layering them with music and a voiceover, they
are still missing the main ingredient: factual accuracy.
