US EditionAmazon Pulls AI Recap From Fallout TV Show After It Made Several Mistakes
Amazon pulled its AI-generated Fallout recap after fans pointed out multiple factual errors including incorrect dates and plot mischaracterizations ahead of season two.
- Ahead of the December 17, 2025 premiere, Amazon Prime Video pulled its experimental AI-powered Video Recaps, including Fallout, after viewers and outlets flagged factual errors.
- Prime Video introduced Video Recaps in beta last month, using generative AI to analyze plot points, select clips, add music and narration, and auto-appear on detail pages for select English-language Prime Original series on Fire TV.
- AI narration misdated the show's flashbacks as 1950s while they occur around 2077, and users noted a monotone text-to-speech voice worsened the recap's credibility.
- Prime Video has not commented on when the feature will return, forcing viewers to rewatch episodes or rely on fan-created summaries while gaming and tech outlets amplify scrutiny.
- The incident underscores limits of generative AI for narrative content, highlighting problems in contextual understanding and chronology; Amazon's prior claims as 'groundbreaking' contrast with the swift removal ahead of the high-profile Fallout Season 2 launch.
