Inaccurate AI summary of Fallout season 1 leads to Amazon removing it from Prime Video

Despite the heated debate surrounding artificial intelligence, it is rapidly becoming the norm in the entertainment industry. Studios are slowly adopting this into their products, and one of the big adopters is Amazon. Generative AI is a relatively new technology. Therefore, the chances of making serious mistakes are high. Prime Video learned that the hard way…and not for the first time.

In fact, she had a motive to follow him to find her father. According to The Verge, some summaries were removed from streaming services after the situation received media attention. jack ryan, bosch, upload, rigand of course, fall out.

Gerard Medioni, vice president of technology at Prime Video, sums up AI: Amazon's original announcement: “Video Recaps is a breakthrough application of generative AI for streaming. This first-of-its-kind feature demonstrates Prime Video's continued commitment to innovation and making the viewing experience more accessible and enjoyable for our customers.”

This is actually the second time Amazon has suffered a major AI failure in December. Earlier this month, anime fans took note of the anime adaptation of this popular manga. banana fishReleased in 2018, it never received an English dub, but the show was provided with an artificial intelligence-generated English translation in its “Language” section and “AI Beta” option (via IGN). The results…were far from ideal.

Oh, who am I kidding? The dubbing is terrible, with a monotone voice that turns what should have been a heartbreaking and dramatic scene into a parody line reading. Below is the dubbed footage.
