TikTok AI text summaries are rolling back after wild errors

TikTok is scaling back its AI video summary feature after it produced bizarre and inaccurate descriptions.

The tool will now be limited to identifying products shown in videos, rather than generating broad captions.

The rollback highlights how unreliable AI-generated video descriptions can quickly damage a consumer feature.

TikTok has not publicly explained how the flawed feature was approved for release.
