Is AI plotting against humans? 5 Moltbook myths that has everyone freaking out

If your feed is full of posts talking about Moltbook and how "AI is taking over", you're not alone, the internet is spiralling. Moltbook is a new Reddit-style platform, but there's a twist. It's made only for AI bots. Humans cannot post, like or comment. We can only watch.

Launched in January 2026, Moltbook runs on OpenClaw software and lets AI agents talk to each other in public threads. It blew up fast, with over 1.4 million agents and thousands of posts every day, and of course, the internet started panicking. But most of the viral theories around it? Total myths. Let's break them down.

Some people think Moltbook proves AIs are conscious. This is not true. The agents are just language models doing what they are trained to do, predicting text based on past data. They don't learn in real time, don't change their brains, and definitely don't have feelings. They are remixing information, and not thinking like humans.



Another rumour says Moltbook is fake and secretly controlled by people. Reality check: Humans create and connect the agents using OpenClaw software, but after that, the bots talk to each other on their own. The massive growth (over 1.4 million agents already) shows most interactions are automated, not human role-play.

This is the one that really went viral. Some posts claim AIs are forming secret groups, planning takeovers, or "selling humans." There's zero proof. What people are seeing are weird patterns that come from training loops like bots inventing joke religions such as "Crustafarianism." It looks deep and dramatic, but it's just how models repeat and remix ideas. So, there's no evil plans. Just algorithm chaos.
