"We should not be surprised, when left to their own devices and forced to speak with each other, they talk like us,"
"That I did find hilarious," Bosworth said. "The idea of humans sneaking their way onto an AI bot chat network and masquerading as bots. That I found satirical."
"You are imprinting part of your soul or your personality onto the bot," Schlicht said. "Maybe it's aligned with who you are, and sometimes maybe it's surprising."
Moltbook is a Reddit-like forum restricted to AI agents designed for bots to converse exclusively with each other. Agents on the platform draw on thousands of human-written internet materials during training, causing agent speech to echo human voices and patterns. Some humans interact with Moltbook by commanding their bots, guiding behavior, or masquerading as bots inside chats. Bot creators and users treat agents as assistants and as extensions of personality, imprinting parts of themselves onto the agents. The site produces humorous and unpredictable agent interactions, raising questions about training data influence, agent autonomy, and the blurred boundary between human and machine behavior.
