Prime Video Will Let You Summon AI To Recap What You're Watching

Amazon's Prime Video has introduced "X-Ray Recaps," a generative AI feature that will recap what you're watching. The new tool can create text summaries of "full seasons of TV shows, single episodes, and even pieces of episodes," the company says in a blog post. The Verge reports: X-Ray Recaps will be accessible from the detail page of a show or in X-Ray while you're watching something. The tool "analyzes various video segments, combined with subtitles or dialogue, to generate detailed descriptions of key events, places, times, and conversations," Amazon says. Amazon has also applied "guardrails" to help the feature avoid sharing spoilers and to keep summaries concise.

X-Ray Recaps, which is are beta, are coming to Fire TV devices starting today, with support for "additional devices" available by the end of this year, Amazon says. The feature, at launch, will work with all Amazon MGM Studios Original series.

Can AI make it so only the things I can actually watch using my subscription appear in search results?

Let AI recap what I just read here

I'm trying to comment but already forgot what the article was about.

Better idea, stop the commercials

[iAmWaySmarterThanYou]

I don't need AI to tell me what I'm watching.

I need the commercials to go away from a service I'm already paying for through Prime so I can watch my shows uninterrupted.

The money saved on killing this useless AI non-feature would cover the cover of lost ad revenue.

The only one I want recapping anything for me

The only one I want recapping anything for me is Luis played by Michael Peña.

Amazing

Amazing ! Just what the couch potato that's too frigging lazy to even watch the video needs. An AI to tell him ( or her ) that the video is just some piece of woke ( or other ) crap that isn't worth watching for five minutes to find that out for themselves.
