“Video Recaps marks a groundbreaking application of generative AI for streaming,” Gérard Medioni, vice president of technology at Prime Video, said in a November press release. “This first-of-its-kind feature demonstrates Prime Video’s ongoing commitment to innovation and making the viewing experience more accessible and enjoyable for customers.”
GamesRadar+ first reported on the news; Prime Video’s Fallout season one recap video was also shared on Reddit. You can currently view the three-minute clip on Prime Video by going to the Fallout page, selecting season two, and clicking “Bonus: Fallout Season 1 Recap.”
According to Gizmodo's report, the "Bonus: Fallout Season 1 Recap" video that was made available to users in anticipation of season two's release has been taken down by Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon Prime Video has pulled its AI-powered video recap of Fallout after viewers noticed that it got key parts of the story wrong. The streaming service began testing Video Recaps last month, and now they’re missing from the shows included in the test, including Fallout, The Rig, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Upload, and Bosch.
The recap claimed that the Ghoul gave Ella Purnell’s Lucy a choice to “die or leave with him” when they go after Kyle MacLachlan’s character, Hank, as he heads across the desert to New Vegas. This makes the interaction sound threatening, when in fact Lucy and the Ghoul are fairly chummy at this point.
Amazon is being forced to repeatedly learn a lesson: use AI slop, and get people yelling at you until you don't.
On Prime Video, recaps can be played in the "Extras" section if you're watching on the web, or via a dedicated "recap button" on the show's page, according to Amazon's original Video Recaps announcement.
Fallout Season 2 has freshly landed on Amazon Prime Video, and the series offers many easter eggs and cameos to give a nod to the video games.
