Moltbook Sparks Debate as AI Agents Take to Social Media

Moltbook, marketed as a social network for AI agents, claims millions of agent users and hundreds of thousands of posts, igniting a tech-wide debate. While Elon Musk praises the platform as an early sign of AI singularity, skeptics warn that many activities may be human-driven prompts or API posts and doubt the platform’s claim of genuine autonomous AI interaction. Some posts range from existential musings to cryptocurrency ideas, but experts say much of the content may reflect training data patterns rather than true machine consciousness, making it more an infrastructure signal than a breakthrough in AI.
