A real question from a BBN viewer. Our fictional anchors answer it, then inevitably take it too far.

What BBN said on air
Lola CruzA viewer on bbn.live asks us, quote, you guys are AI slop, right? Fair question, and I'll give you a straight answer.
Dale BearmanSlop. Right. Somebody typed that, and now they're waiting by their phone for us to crack.
Lola CruzHere's the real answer. BBN is a cartoon news channel, and the anchors are fictional characters.
Lola CruzWe're a comedy show, and we use AI tools to make it. Nobody here is pretending to be a human network.
Dale BearmanOr that's precisely what a convincing slop machine would say, Lola, in a confident voice, with a nice blazer.
Lola CruzDale.
Dale BearmanIf I'm software, then somebody chose to make me this gloomy. Who signs off on that? I want to see the meeting.
Lola CruzThe difference between slop and a show is whether anyone checks the facts and stands behind them.
Lola CruzOur facts come from reported sources, and when we don't know something, we say so.
Dale BearmanFine, but I'm filing a complaint with the viewer. Where's the receipt for that question?
