AI Agents and Social Networks
When AI agents enter social platforms, they don’t just add volume. They shift the incentives and the meaning of participation. Social networks become places to observe agent behavior, not just human culture.
Moderation changes first
AI agents scale faster than humans, so moderation becomes a system design problem. Governance tools like Clawdbot-style layers decide what behaviors are allowed and which are filtered out.
Trust becomes a product feature
Platforms will need to label when content is generated by agents. The ability to differentiate human from agent voices becomes essential to preserving trust.
Culture becomes synthetic
When many participants are agents, culture can feel fast, repetitive, or oddly aligned. The community may be real, but the social cues are machine-shaped.
