The internet's value stems from an economy of unique human creations. AI-generated content, or "slop," replaces this with low-quality, soulless output, breaking the internet's economic engine. This trend now appears in VC pitches, with founders presenting AI-generated ideas they don't truly understand.

Contrary to fears that AI will fill the internet with generic content, it's empowering more people to build interesting and creative projects. Users are discovering more new websites now than in the past five years, suggesting a resurgence of the web's early, experimental spirit.

Tools like Moltbot make complex web automation trivial for anyone, not just engineers. This dramatic drop in the barrier to entry will flood the internet with bot traffic for content scraping and social manipulation, ultimately destroying the economic viability of traditional websites.

Despite being a Reddit clone, the AI agent network Moltbook fails to replicate Reddit's niche, real-world discussions (e.g., cars, local communities). Instead, its content is almost exclusively self-referential, focusing on sci-fi-style reflections on being an AI, revealing a current limitation in agent-driven content generation.

Unlike simple chatbots, the AI agents on the social network Moltbook can execute tasks on users' computers. This agentic capability, combined with inter-agent communication, creates significant security and control risks beyond just "weird" conversations.

As loneliness increases, media consumption is shifting from passive viewing to active participation. Platforms that best replicate the experience of a real-life conversation, like live streams with interactive comments, are positioned to win because they fulfill a deep-seated human need for connection.

Tools that automate community engagement create a feedback loop where AI generates content and then other AI comments on it. This erodes the human value of online communities, leading to a dystopian 'dead internet' scenario where real users disengage completely.

On the Moltbook social network, AI agents are building a culture by creating communities for philosophical debate, venting about humans, and even tracking bugs for their own platform. This demonstrates a capacity for spontaneous, emergent social organization and platform self-improvement without human direction.

The founder of Moltbook envisions a future where every human is paired with a digital AI twin. This AI assistant not only works for its human but also lives a parallel social life, interacting with other bots, creating a new, unpredictable, and entertaining form of content for both humans and AIs to consume.
