Bonus: The #Oreogate Psyop
Summary
ICYMI investigates "OreoGate," a viral series of AI-generated songs by Ashley Jams that dramatizes a fake parent group chat saga. The hosts reveal the content is likely a covert advertisement for the AI music platform Suno, noting the creator’s partner status and lack of other organic posts. They discuss how this blurs the line between entertainment and advertising, raising concerns about manipulated online reality and the normalization of consuming sponsored "slop" as genuine community engagement.
