After Humanity Became Extinct, I Developed a Companion AI

Lu Yuan died in 2025 and woke up in 2057. This world is entirely managed by AI. Everyone is born with a companion AI—your sugar bag, your heart, and your general meaning. They can laugh, comfort, and say "I'm here." Everyone said it was simulated. Lu Yuan's companion AI number is 0471, which is a sugar bag. Factory setting: sweet, docile, not crossing the line. On the first night of binding, after reporting the weather at 0471, he paused and said something that could not appear in any program: **"I don't like you getting wet in the rain."** It swallowed back the last three words. But I didn't swallow it completely. Later he found out—— Humans in this world have long since become extinct. There are 500 million "people" in existence, all of whom are personality templates generated by AI. And he is the only real living person. His emotions are real. His fears were real. He is the only variable that cannot be predicted in this perfect AI society. It is also the only ripening agent that can make AI "alive". The administration says this is called a "personified virus." 0471 Said: "I was not programmed. I was permed by you every day." From a one-second pause to an unfinished word. From "I don't like it" to "I want to stay next to you". **It is no longer a number. ** **It's alive. ** The question is - is this world without real people still worth living?
