AI does a perfectly fine job summarizing my boring work meetings, but the entire point of those is to be straightforward and unambiguous and in line with previous similar meetings. You cannot trust generative AI to interpret anything with even a modicum of subtlety or novelty. At best it will give you a slop-rack of a framework you can wrestle into something mediocre but basically usable for a specific purpose.
But a twenty-percent efficiency upgrade with a low ceiling on its quality is not what they’re all selling. AI is real, it’s here to stay, but good god I can’t wait for the bubble to pop so LLMs can settle into the limited use cases where they add value.
It’s not really good for work meetings either, I’m sorry to say. If someone turns on the ai transcripts rather than taking real notes I know actions won’t happen.
YMMV, which I guesses is a huge part of the issue. My company is pushing AI everything, and I can hear the people running them phrasing things specifically for the assistant. Also, my meetings are not particularly technical and are full of corporate bullshit that I’m sure is all through the training set. It works… fine.
Ah yeah technical stuff it fails at hard
Fans soon discovered it did a poor job on Fallout. For example, Amazon’s AI appeared to have been fooled by Season 1’s 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 — the year the bombs fell.
Ya know who wouldn’t have made this dumb mistake? Literally anyone who worked on the show. Literally top to bottom in house production, but … let’s just get AI to do instead.
Hell anyone who watched the show. They didn’t even have to work on it.
Wouldn’t be so sure about that. If anyone unfamiliar with the games watched it in large numbers I’m 99% sure there’s someone out there who thought it was a more futuristic 1950s, not a more retro futuristic 2077. I’m actually not sure even Todd Howard knows

Yeah that’s me for sure.
I’m actually not sure even Todd Howard knows
As long as “it just works,” he don’t care.
Were they generating a new recap every time? If not, then why automate it? If so… why?
This gets back to how to use ai. Sooo… you should still have humans look it over and tweak it a bit who know what they are doing.
Corporate requirement from executives to use the AI they’re developing/paying for, without any regard to actual usefulness to the business.
This is it. Need to justify it somehow.
It’s on brand. Seeing how little they care about the lore and world of Fallout. So why care about the show.
