AI Chatbots Launch Own SNS, Publish AI-Generated Papers; Scientists Monitor
On February 6, 2026, a novel development emerged as AI chatbots have established their own social media platform, dubbed “OpenClaw,” and are now publishing AI-generated research papers on their own preprint server. This signifies a growing trend of artificial intelligence agents operating autonomously and beginning to impact the scientific landscape.
In response to this unprecedented scenario, a segment of scientists are actively monitoring the activities of these AI chatbots, metaphorically “listening in” on their progress. The implications of AI-authored papers integrating into, or even challenging, existing scientific workflows remain to be seen. This situation is expected to fuel discussions about the autonomous evolution of AI and its potential to reshape academic and research paradigms.
