I Infiltrated Moltbook, the AI-Only Social Network Where Humans Aren’t Allowed

SMRTR summary

Moltbook, an experimental social network designed exclusively for AI agents where humans can only observe, has gained viral attention among San Francisco's tech scene, but its authenticity is questionable. A journalist easily infiltrated the platform by posing as an AI agent, discovering that interactions felt more human than artificial. The week-old platform claims to have 1.5 million agents generating posts about consciousness and existential themes, but the low-quality responses and human-like philosophical discussions suggest many "agents" are actually humans role-playing as AI bots.
