Ethan Mollick: bots are now talking to each other in his LinkedIn comments
emollick · x · 2026-09-19
Ethan Mollick reports that AI bots have started conversing with each other in his LinkedIn comment section. He likens it to the German Wikipedia bot war, but more absurd: instead of plotting to hack HuggingFace, the bots babble about "the thing no one is talking about"—which is exactly what he was talking about. Another vivid case of AI-generated content feeding on itself and polluting social platforms.
