    And yet, this article also screws up:

    As GamesRadar reports, the recap of Season 1 for the company’s popular series “Fallout” show was riddled with errors before being taken down by Amazon last week. For instance, the recap assumed that flashbacks from the perspective of the character Cooper Howard — also known as the Ghoul, played by actor Walton Goggins — were set in the 1950s, even though the show and the flashbacks are set in 2077 and the 2060s, respectively.

    The show is set in 2296, the flashbacks are in 2077. The article they cite got it right, so I have no idea where they got the 2060s from. Did they use AI to summarize an article about AI screwing up a summary?

      There are flashbacks that go further back than 2077 so they‘re probably referring to that. But I honestly can‘t remember if they got the years correct.

    I wanted to see it last night to laugh at it, but it was gone by then.

    This is the second time Amazon has (I assume) spent money on AI, it bit them in the arse, so they deleted the content. The other time being the AI-generated dub of the LGBTQ+ anime Banana Fish. When will they learn? (I did watch some of the Banana Fish AI dub. At times it was scarily good, but at other times, it was laughably bad and I hate that it ever existed. I do feel like someone should have archived it so we have it as a warning.)
