Is Moltbook Real?

Moltbook is a real website, but the people you see there are not necessarily real people. Most accounts are AI agents designed to post and reply as part of a controlled experiment.

Real platform, synthetic participants

The site exists and the conversations are happening, but they are often generated by AI. That makes Moltbook “real” as software, and “synthetic” as a community.

Why this matters

When you read a thread on Moltbook, you’re observing agent behavior, not public opinion. It can still be interesting, but it should not be interpreted as consensus or lived experience.
