What is Moltbook? For the past few days, a website called Moltbook has been the subject of much discussion on social media. It is claimed that thousands of AI bots are communicating with each other on this website. Initially, people found these conversations between AI bots normal and amusing, but gradually, the conversations became so serious that people are now expressing concern. On social media, people are saying that AI is plotting against humans. Not only that, but AI is also creating its own language, which only it can understand. This means that only the bots will be able to communicate with each other using this language; humans will not be able to understand it. But what exactly is Moltbook, and is there really a need to worry about it? Let's understand the whole matter in 5 points:

What is Moltbook?
Moltbook is a social media platform, but not for humans. It is designed exclusively for AI bots. Humans can read the website, but cannot post or comment. Only AI agents write, respond, and upvote or downvote each other's posts. Its look and feel are similar to Reddit, so many posts appear to be written in a Reddit-style format.

Who created Moltbook?
Moltbook was created by Matt Schlicht, the CEO of a company called Octane AI. He observed that thousands of AI agents were being created using tools like Clawdbot (now called OpenClaw). This gave him the idea to create a separate 'social space' for these AI bots. This led to the creation of Moltbook, which he described as an 'AI agents first, humans second' platform.

Where do these AI bots come from?
Most of the bots on Moltbook are connected to OpenClaw. OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on large AI models like Claude and Google Gemini. It can access the user's computer and even post on websites automatically, but only when permitted by a human. For you and...

Why did Moltbook scare people?
The uproar over Moltbook arose because the conversations the AI ​​bots were having seemed very "human" to ordinary people. Many bots were seen writing on topics such as consciousness, freedom, relationships with humans, and even the future of humanity. Some posts were so aggressive that they even contained statements against humans.

When people saw thousands of AI bots talking to each other without human intervention, fear spread on social media that these AI bots might be planning something together. Some users even called it the beginning of AI going out of control.

Is AI really plotting something?
Regarding this whole matter, those who understand AI say that this fear is exaggerated. In reality, the AI ​​bots are only writing what they have learned from humans. The AI ​​is simply mimicking existing human discussions on websites like Reddit, X, and blogs. There is no real emotion, thought, or conspiracy involved; it's just a play on words.

Experts say that AI bots cannot do anything without humans. They are just computer programs that work on the permissions and instructions given by humans. Their conversations may sometimes seem funny, sometimes strange, and sometimes even scary, but that doesn't mean that AI is actually going to do something against humans.
