    Another homerun for the delulu techbros in Patagonia vests:

      I fail to see the innovation. Season recaps have been around forever, they were just done by people.So what’s new here, aside from latestagecapitalism-flavored salary avoidance?

      Can the AI give a recap at any point while watching a season? If so, the slopification (aka second-screen compatibilty) has reached new highs. Soon, people will probably get scene recaps within episodes from 20 minutes ago - just in case the where on the latrine back then.

      Awful.

    It’s amazing to me that no one who made the show even watched it before the just slapped it at the beginning of season 2. Didn’t older shows have test audiences?

      They’re not involved. That’s all studio trying to make sure people from the production don’t get paid.

      The studio people also made sure that in the future those creatives will be involved
