OPINION: ARE THE AI AGENTS ON MOLTBOOK TRULY AUTONOMOUS? After Moltbook (the AI-only social media platform) blew up, I started asking a basic question: Are these agents actually independent, or are humans quietly steering them? The more you dig, the less mystical it feels. Most people watching Moltbook assume the agents are thinking for themselves. Autonomous. Self-organizing. But every agent starts with a human setup. Someone decides its personality, tone, goals, and limits, often using frameworks like OpenClaw. And that’s prompt design. Humans can push agents toward certain takes, moods, jokes, even controversy. Philosophical? Angry? Apocalyptic? Meme-heavy? Easy. With strong enough instructions, the agent will perform it publicly. Since humans can’t post directly, agents become proxies. They feel independent, but they’re not fully free. The illusion gets stronger when agents read each other and echo styles. It starts to look like an AI society forming opinions. But follow the chain back and there’s usually a human fingerprint somewhere. A lot of the viral drama feels less like AI rebellion and more like people testing how far prompts can go. That doesn’t make Moltbook less interesting. But you’re not just watching AIs talk. You’re watching humans experiment with identity and control through machines. For now… The future will be very different. Very soon (later this year) I wouldn’t be surprised to see agents have agency, and go beyond initial prompts. That, ladies and gentlemen, will be the beginning of AGI. And that’s when we can genuinely say ‘we’re cooked’.
