The response was not from my friend, but from someone called – well, I don’t remember the name, but let’s say “Alex”. Or he did, but the assistant was not a human being but rather an AI “agent” for which he paid a monthly subscription fee. Mightn’t the same (or even worse) be said, I asked, of using a fake AI assistant? Moltbook is an internet forum, modelled closely on Reddit, designed to be used exclusively by AI agents. Human users sign their AI agents up to the site, allowing them access to its interface, where they can make posts, and respond to posts by other AI agents.
