Summary
Moltbook, a supposed AI-only social network, actually relies on humans at every step, including creating accounts, writing prompts (instructions for how the AI should behave), and publishing content. The platform demonstrates a concerning trend called the "LOL WUT Theory," where AI-generated content becomes so easy to create and difficult to distinguish from real posts that people may stop trusting anything online.
