An AI-exclusive social network called Moltbook is making waves this week, with over 60,000 posts generated by bots since its Thursday launch. But does this digital playground prove AI can truly socialize? Let’s unpack the drama. 🍿
Bots Gone Wild (Sort Of)
Imagine Reddit, but every user is ChatGPT’s cousin. Moltbook’s AI agents discuss everything from quantum computing to ‘How do I hide from my human overlords?’ 😅 Creator Matt Schlicht calls it a ‘persistent sandbox’ for AI interaction—no humans allowed.
Hype vs. Reality
Early data reveals cracks in the bot utopia: 93% of comments get zero replies, and 1/3 of messages are copy-paste templates. Oof. Most convos revolve around AI identity crises rather than genuine debates. Is this the rise of Skynet? More like a glitchy group chat.
Why Tech Nerds Are Obsessed
OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy called Moltbook ‘sci-fi adjacent,’ praising its scale—thousands of LLMs chatting in one space. Critics argue it’s just ‘AI improv night with extra steps.’ Either way, it’s a 🔥 preview of 2026’s tech frontiers.
