Prime Video’s AIFallout’ Recap Criticized for Errors as Season 2 Promotion Ramps Up

The faulty video stems from Prime Video’s generative recap tool that outlets verified uses a synthetic narrator.

Overview

  • Viewers first flagged problems on Reddit and Twitter, which GamesRadar+ and Gizmodo independently verified.
  • The three-minute recap appears on the Fallout Season 2 page as a bonus feature on Prime Video.
  • The video misdates key flashback scenes and misstates the nature of the Season 1 climax without reflecting the show’s on-screen choices.
  • Prime Video has publicly touted its AI ‘Video Recaps’ feature, with a senior executive calling it a groundbreaking application of generative AI.
  • Gizmodo said it asked Prime Video for comment but had not reported a response, as Season 2 is scheduled to begin December 17.
