I'm unsure how much science fiction has influenced your thoughts on writing, but "I'm talking to an archive of a person to simulate their behavior." instantly reminded me of the series "The Hyperion Cantos" by Dan Simmons. Without further spoilers, it's a sci-fi epic filled with many literary and poetic references and allusions dealing with social, political, and religious issues related to humanity's growth throughout the galaxy. AI also plays a massive role in the series, and it's been interesting reading it in 2025, knowing it was written in the 90s.
