From the article:

> Its owner, ARN Media, confirmed to the Financial Review that while Thy is AI-generated, the host’s voice and likeness are modeled after an actual employee in the company’s financial department. Thy’s voice was created with the AI voice generator ElevenLabs.

- Written by humans

- A mixture of both

      Writers are cheaper than hosts and typically both are union members.
