    There’s a Ray Bradbury story like this about the last human on Mars. He’s like 80 and gets into a fight with pre-recorded versions of his past self that he made to not be lonely. Hang on, I’ll get the name.

    That would have to be transitional though. With most people gone, there would be nobody to control the power plants and networks and data centers. The internet would slowly die. The chatbot would have to be on the person’s private device that they need to power themselves.
