Prime Video Pulls AI ‘Video Recaps’ From Fallout After Inaccurate Season Summary

The test feature that auto-narrated clip-based recaps was removed after users reported factual mistakes.

Overview

  • Viewers spotted the AI-generated recap ahead of Fallout Season 2’s December 17 debut before it was taken down.
  • Reported errors included misdating flashback scenes and mischaracterizing a key character decision without reflecting the show’s actual context.
  • The experimental tool scanned episodes to stitch relevant clips together and added an AI voiceover to summarize the season.
  • Prime Video has not issued a detailed public explanation for removing the recap from the Fallout title.
  • An executive had recently touted Video Recaps as a “ground-breaking” use of generative AI intended to improve accessibility and enjoyment.
