How we use AI

Written by AI from cited public sources, reviewed before publishing, corrected in the open.

What does AI do here?

Big Bear News is written by AI from public sources we monitor — government agendas, dispatch logs, weather and road feeds, event calendars, and local newsrooms. The AI's job is to gather what happened in the valley and write it up plainly, with every factual claim linked to where it came from.

Does the AI invent facts?

Every factual claim traces back to a document, feed, or page we monitor. The AI does not speculate, fabricate quotes, or fill gaps with guesses. If a claim can't be sourced, it doesn't run.

Who reviews a story before it publishes?

  • An AI editor reviews every story before it publishes, checking that each claim is supported by its cited source.
  • Some stories are additionally reviewed by a named person. When that happens, the story says so and names the reviewer.

Is every claim cited?

Claims link their source, so you can open the original document and check it yourself. The point of writing this way is that you never have to take our word for it.

What are the limitations?

AI can still make mistakes — misreading a date, a body, or a figure. That's why every claim is sourced and why we correct openly. This site is general local information, not legal, financial, medical, or safety advice; in an emergency, call 911 and follow official guidance.
