Corrections — The Overnight

The Overnight is a daily morning news brief made with AI. Sometimes we get things wrong. When we do, we say so publicly and fix what we can.

How the show is made

• Made with AI. AI language models write the script, the voice is synthetic, and the anchor, Chip Sterling, is an AI-generated character. The pictures behind the stories are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs of the events.
• Checked by a person. A human producer reviews each episode's script and the finished video before it is published.
• Sourced. A story runs only if at least two independent news outlets have reported it. Stories about deaths, violence, attacks or disasters must also be confirmed by a major wire service or public broadcaster. Every episode's description links the sources for every story.
• Jokes never add facts. Chip Sterling's commentary is opinion and framing; every fact comes from the reporting we link. Stories about death, violence, disaster or abuse get no jokes at all.

What we correct

• Corrections: factual errors — a wrong name, number, date or place, or a claim our sources don't support.
• Clarifications: a story that was accurate but misleading, or missing context that changes what it means.
• We don't correct opinions or jokes. But a joke that states or suggests something false is a factual error, and we treat it as one.

What happens when we get it wrong

A published video can't be edited, so the correction goes next to the video instead. When we confirm an error, we:

1. Pin a comment on the episode, on every platform where it ran, saying what was wrong and what is right.
2. Add a correction note to the episode's description or caption, where the platform allows it.
3. List it in the log below, with the date.

We don't delete episodes to hide mistakes. We remove an episode only when keeping it up could cause real harm — for example, a false claim about a private person — and we list the removal here too.
