More recently, Amazon Prime Video gave U.S. subscribers a major free upgrade with a new dedicated news section. The move came at the perfect time, since competing platforms such as Netflix, Apple TV +, Disney +, HBO Max, and Peacock have all raised their prices this year to address higher production costs for quality content.

Amazon Prime Video announced a dedicated free news hub for its U.S. subscribers. The streaming giant’s U.S. customers can now tune in to local, national, and global news coverage from major providers, according to its press release.

Amazon said the new news section will be free for all U.S. Prime Video customers by the end of the year. That means no additional subscription fees. The news destination is easy to find. People can open the Prime Video app, go to the top menu, and tap the news tab to start watching.

Amazon Prime Video just pulled a noticeable move that could make the streaming platform even more of a worthy contender.

The AI video recap incorrectly places a flashback in 1950, even though the scene is actually set in 2077. It also misinterpreted the previous season's climax.

As more people cut the cord with cable and turn to streaming options as an alternative for entertainment and news content, the competition among streamers is increasing. Amazon Prime Video remains among the top platforms with around 200 million subscribers, lagging behind only Netflix, according to data from Flix Patrol.

"Mighty Nein" is the Critical Role crew's second animated series project with Amazon.

“Video Recaps marks a groundbreaking application of generative AI for streaming,” Gérard Medioni, vice president of technology at Prime Video, said in a November press release. “This first-of-its-kind feature demonstrates Prime Video’s ongoing commitment to innovation and making the viewing experience more accessible and enjoyable for customers.”

Amazon is being forced to repeatedly learn a lesson: use AI slop, and get people yelling at you until you don't.

If you frequently shop on the platform, signing up for the Prime Visa Signature Card is a no-brainer perk. The card gives you 5% cash back on all purchases at Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, and Whole Foods. This substantial cash-back rate is far higher than most standard credit cards offer.

Family movie night went wrong for more than 100 users when Amazon Prime Video swapped 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' with Jake Gyllenhaal’s R-rated rom-com.
