Part 7/16:
The show critiques the media and AI firms pushing narratives suggesting that many of these illicit images are AI-generated, framing them as victims of a vast, orchestrated misinformation effort. An illustrative example is a fictional, humorous "CIA spy" character who claims that social media campaigns around Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard were part of a foreign influence operation orchestrated via bot farms, with a fabricated conspiracy linking Saudi royal involvement. Critics see these narratives as part of a broader effort—sometimes referred to as "gaslighting"—to distort public perception and rewrite recent history, especially around scandals like Depp-Herd.
