From Indiewire: One cool feature that’s relatively unique to Amazon Prime Video is the streamer’s X-Ray feature, which pops up the name of an actor or the music you’re currently hearing or seeing on screen when you pause the show. No need to go to IMDb.com to figure out where you recognize that guy from or to Shazam that song — so long as you’re actually watching a show or movie on Amazon. Now Amazon Prime Video is extending that X-Ray feature a step further by summarizing full episodes or even entire seasons of TV through the push of a button. The company is calling it “X-Ray Recaps,” and it’s available now in Beta version on Amazon MGM Originals and for Fire TV users specifically. X-Ray Recaps is powered through generative AI models trained on various video segments of shows, subtitles, and other dialogue, and it manages to generate a brief, detailed description of the key moments and even specific places, times, conversations, and character names, present in an episode or a season of #TV to help you catch up. It’s like having ChatGPT on your remote, but you can only prompt it to tell you what happened last week on “The Wheel of Time.” At any time while watching, you can pause the show and activate the feature, electing to have it summarize single episodes, the most recent season, or the entire series up to that point. X-Ray is also supposed to know how far along you’ve specifically watched and has some guardrails in place to make sure that whatever the #AI generates doesn’t spoil the rest of the show for you. The idea is that it saves you the trouble of going online and risking looking up something and reading a spoiler you didn’t want to know about. For now, the feature is only available on Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios original shows, and the blog post announcing the tool mentions “Daisy Jones and the Six,” “The Boys,” “The Wheel of Time,” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” that are making use of the #tech. No word on if other older Amazon shows and movies will add it as well, or if the feature will be extended to other content licensed through Prime Video. #streaming
