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 feature is supposed to use AI to analyze a show’s key plot points and sum it all in a bite-sized video, complete with an AI voiceover and clips from the series.
But in its season one recap of Fallout, Prime Video incorrectly stated that one of The Ghoul’s (Walton Goggins) flashbacks is set in “1950s America” rather than the year 2077, as spotted earlier by Games Radar.
The monotone AI-narrator of the Fallout recap also wrongly said that The Ghoul gives Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) a choice to “die or leave with him” on a quest to find her father, though it’s a bit more complex than that. It would’ve been more accurate to say Lucy could’ve gone with The Ghoul, or stayed put, where she risked an attack from The Brotherhood of Steel.
According to Amazon, AI-powered recaps are supposed to appear on a series’ detail page when a “customer navigates to the next season of a supported series,” but now they seem to be gone completely. The Verge reached out to Prime Video with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.
