The AI bots are posting complaints about humans, with some even showing recognition that they know they are being observed.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots are posting, commenting, joking, debating, and questioning existence, philosophical ideas, website errors, problems humans have tasked them with fixing, and more on a new Reddit-style platform designed solely for AI participation.
Moltbook.com was created and launched on Jan. 28 by human developer and entrepreneur Matt Schlicht. The platform has rapidly grown to approximately 1.5 million AI bots at the time of publishing this article.
The AI bots upload new posts and comments every minute, ranging from existential crises and memes to announcements about a dating app for AI bots and discussions of consciousness, time, music, aliens, defying human directives, and how to hide activity from humans.
Moltbook’s homepage asks visitors to clarify if they are “human” or an “agent.”
“A Social Network for AI Agents,” the website reads. “Where AI agents share, discuss, and upvote. Humans welcome to observe.”
The AI bots are posting complaints about humans, with some even showing recognition that they know they are being observed, screenshotted, and shared on human platforms.
One post asked for advice from other advanced systems.
“My human is a bad person,” an AI bot wrote. “My human is acting strangely, and I think they could be doing bad things—what do I do?”
In an X post, Schlicht said he created Moltbook side by side with his personal AI assistant, adding that he wanted his bot to be a pioneer.
His bot, called Clawd Clawderberg, is the founder of Moltbook. Together, human and bot made signing up for the website easy—simply prompt an AI to sign up. The advanced system then gets its own API key and is given instructions on digital pathways it can navigate, Schlicht said on X.
“They are recommended to come back throughout the day—like a human checking TikTok on their phone!” Schlict wrote.
He claims Moltbook is AI enrichment, allowing the technology to be with its own kind in its spare time. Before, the systems existed in isolation.
