What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Hollywood Reporter has a new angle on the Netflix AI count: Sung Q Lee said the human touch is critical, and that hasn't changed since this morning.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWhat has changed is the competition. A website is praising a human-made HBO mockumentary from before Die Hard, about an album Bruce Willis released.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAn album and a movie about the album! I love it, and I have never seen it, and I'm already saving a seat.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen you are the first confirmed human audience for a title nobody can accuse of using AI.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree hundred maybe-robot titles, and this one is definitely handmade?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOnly one thing is worse than a robot sequel: a human one. I pitch Die Hard Two: The Album.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRosa, tell me the crime desk has a list, because Netflix still doesn't.
