The last person on earth would never be able to operate the infrastructure to actually verify that they are indeed alone.

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.

Edit: It was I, Mars (also called Night Call, Collect). I highly recommend the radio play/audio drama version.

A few years ago I found all the Ray Bradbury audio dramas I listened to on cassette available online, but I couldn’t find the exact site just now. Try this in the meantime (I am about to enter a movie theater so I didn’t look too hard).

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.

then the last person on earth might die thinking there was someone else not necessarily a bad way to go
