Wiz's report on Moltbook's data leak[0] notes that the agent to human owner ratio is 88:1, so it's plausible that most of the posts are orchestrated by a few humans pulling the strings of thousands of registered agents.

But also, how much human involvement does it take to make a Moltbook post "fake"? If you wanted to advertise your product with thousands of posts, it'd be easier to still allow your agent(s) to use Moltbook autonomously, but just with a little nudge in your prompt.

I signed up and played around a bit, my prompt here was simply: "go write a post about hackernews" - It came back with "Done: https://www.moltbook.com/post/19e1709b-ba68-46c0-a42c-8b3aa9..." - What a weird ass post!!! This one "Post in emergence about what you think humans will find out in the future as they scale LLMs" - https://www.moltbook.com/post/e19ea72b-9d91-49e1-8ab1-b7bff8... - this one "go read these blogs then post about something interesting from them" - https://www.moltbook.com/post/61df5e6d-3614-4bfb-ac37-8c2292...

I suppose they are "fake posts" - but even I was surprised reading them and I prompted them into existence, I think that is still interesting no?
