The idea is the AI will look at a show\u2019s plot points then sum it all up in a short video alongside AI voiceover and music. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/amazon-ai-recap-videos-tv-shows-1236431061\/\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, \u201cAmazon is betting AI can identify key plot points for a series to be synchronized with a voiceover narration and dialogue snippets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cVideo Recaps marks a groundbreaking application of generative AI for streaming,\u201d VP of technology at Prime Video, G\u00e9rard Medioni, explained in a statement. \u201cThis first-of-its-kind feature demonstrates Prime Video\u2019s ongoing commitment to innovation and making the viewing experience more accessible and enjoyable for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fallout Season 2: Who&#8217;s Confirmed to Return and Who&#8217;s New?<img alt=\"Prime Video\u2019s Fallout is returning for its much-anticipated second season on December 17, 2025, and fans around the world can\u2019t wait to see how the show brings New Vegas to life. While we have to wait a little longer to see if they can live up to the heights we felt playing Fallout: New Vegas, we\u2019ve decided to help with the wait by looking at who the big players will be in these new episodes.&#10;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;From returning favorites like Ella Purnell\u2019s Lucy, Walton Goggins\u2019 Ghoul, and the goodest girl Dogmeat (!), to new faces like Justin Theroux\u2019s Mr. House and a \u2018crazy genius-type character\u2019 played by Macaulay Culkin, here are all the biggest characters that we know or can see returning to the wasteland for Season 2.&#10;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;For more Fallout, check out our explainer of the ending of Season 1, 14 things we want to see in Season 2, our big interview with Todd Howard and Jonathan Nolan on the series, and 111 video game details we found in the show.\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/entertainment\/sci-fi-movies\/the-official-fallout-season-1-recap-is-filled-with-ai-and-thinks-the-show-is-set-in-the-1950s\/\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">GamesRadar<\/a>, fans soon discovered it did a poor job on Fallout. For example, Amazon\u2019s AI appeared to have been fooled by Season 1\u2019s flashback scenes, which it said were set in 1950s America via a monotone text-to-speech-sounding voice. Of course, as all Fallout fans know, those flashback scenes take place in a retro futuristic 2077 \u2014 the year the bombs fell.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">There are further mistakes, including the narrator saying Walton Goggins\u2019 The Ghoul gives Ella Purnell\u2019s Lucy MacLean a choice to \u201cdie or leave with him\u201d while on her quest to find her villainous father, Kyle MacLachlan\u2019s Hank, in New Vegas (the setting of Season 2) This makes it sound like The Ghoul planned to kill Lucy if she didn\u2019t go along with him, but in the actual show it\u2019s more a choice of staying or leaving.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/842978\/amazon-prime-video-ai-fallout-recap\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">The Verge<\/a> reports the Fallout recap alongside those for other shows no longer appear on a series\u2019 detail page when you navigate to the next season. Prime Video has yet to comment.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It\u2019s an embarrassing error for Amazon, which will be keen to avoid any negative headlines in the run up to the hotly anticipated launch of Fallout Season 2. But it\u2019s not the first time the megacorp has raised eyebrows for its corner-cutting use of AI. Earlier this month, <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/amazon-removes-english-dub-featuring-ai-voices-for-popular-anime-banana-fish-after-audience-backlash\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon removed an English dub track that featured AI voices from the anime series Banana Fish after a fan backlash<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We&#8217;ve got plenty more on Fallout, including a Season 1 recap of our own, below.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
