Alan Hamel Creates AI Clone of Late Wife Suzanne Somers
Suzanne Somers' husband Alan Hamel has revealed that he's developing an artificial intelligence version of the late author and actor to keep connecting her with fans online.
In an interview with People magazine, Hamel said the "Suzanne AI Twin" is being designed to look, sound, and respond like his wife of 55 years, using her own words and ideas drawn from decades of work.
"It was Suzanne. And I asked her a few questions, and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away," Hamel, 89, said.
"When you look at the finished one next to the real Suzanne, you can't tell the difference. It's amazing."

"And I mean, I've been with Suzanne for 55 years, so I know what her face looks like. When I just look at the two of them side by side, I really can't tell which one is the real and which one is the AI."
According to Hamel, the AI was trained on Somers' 27 books and hundreds of interviews, so it can respond in her own voice and reflect her perspective.
"It was Suzanne's idea. And she said, 'I think we should do that.'"
"She said, 'I think it'll be very interesting, and we'll provide a service to my fans and to people who have been reading my books who really want and need information about their health,'" Hamel said.
"So that's the reason we did it. And so, I love being able to fulfill her wish."
This is absolutely fascinating! AI preserving legacies like Suzanne Somers' shows how tech can keep inspiring beyond a lifetime. Imagine by 2030, when AI twins could mentor millions with personalized wisdom. Truly game-changing potential for connection and impact
To each his own I guess. I can understand why he might want it. No real interest here though. 😆
A bit scary to realize the lines are beginning to blur in this domain. I expected this to happen a couple of years from now.
