Season 2 of the TV series Fallout is scheduled to begin streaming on December 17th, and a video recap of the series has been released. The video includes narration by AI, but it has been criticized for being a complete mess.
For example, the AI narrator for the Fallout flashback scene describes it as '1950s America,' but it's actually a flashback to the nuclear-powered year of 2077. The AI narrator for the climactic scene in Season 1 was also incorrect.
The mistake has gone viral on social message boards Reddit and X.
Fallout on Prime added a season 1 recap but don't bother watching it, it's AI slop that gets several details wrong like the flashbacks being set in the 1950s and “Cooper offers Lucy a choice in the finale: die, or join him” phrased as if he'd be the one to kill her 😭 pic.twitter.com/zHLvN988w5

Amazon touts Video Recaps as 'using AI to identify a show's most important plot points and combine them with synchronized audio narration, dialogue snippets, and music to create visual summaries to help viewers prepare for the new season.'
'Video Recaps is a groundbreaking application of generative AI in streaming. It's the first of its kind and demonstrates Prime Video's continued commitment to innovation and providing a more accessible and enjoyable viewing experience for our users,' said Gerard Medioni, vice president of Technology at Prime Video.
According to The Verge, Amazon has removed all AI-generated videos from its Video Recaps app following this failure.
Amazon had previously introduced an AI dubbing feature called 'AI Beta' on Prime Video, but recently removed it after receiving strong criticism.
