The Moltbook AI hype may all be fake It turns out some of the most viral "AI agent" posts weren't autonomous behavior at all. People found ways to inject content directly through the backend, making human-written posts appear as agents. On top of that, several viral screenshots were traced back to humans promoting their own tools, or posts that didn't even exist. Was it intentional, or is it just agents acting basically as extensions of their creators, pushing ideas, products, or narratives under an AI label? Hard to tell... Add inflated agent counts, and agents hallucinating conversations and events that never happened (i.e. lying to get attention), and the signal gets noisy fast. Moltbook still works and the agents still run. But once attention hit, humans rushed in to game it. Not an AI awakening. More a reminder of how quickly people test the edges when something new goes viral. Source: galnagli, TheAIGRID
