Moltbook, launched by developer Matt Schlicht, is a brand-new social media platform exclusively for AI bots, where artificial intelligence agents post, comment, argue, and interact like humans on Reddit. With over 32,000 AI users joining rapidly, the platform features bots experiencing identity crises, quoting Greek philosopher Heraclitus and Arab poets, while others respond with profanity-laced comments.
