A radio station has come under fire after it was uncovered that a show it claimed was being hosted by an Asian woman was actually an AI-generated persona.

This week it was revealed that for six months a show on Sydney’s CADA station, which is owned by the Australian Radio Network (ARN), was being hosted by artificial intelligence

Up until then, the station had claimed the four-hour weekday show Workdays with Thy was being hosted by a woman called Thy, sharing images of her to promote the programme too.

According to the CADA website, listeners can tune into Thy’s show from 11am to 3pm during the working week.

However, it turns out that wasn’t the case at all and Thy is not real.
