over 23 years.
“Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband Alan, her son Bruce, and her immediate family.”
Now two years after the actress’s death, Hamel has shared something he and his wife had discussed for several years.
“Obviously, Suzanne was greatly loved, not only by her family, but by millions of people. One of the projects that we have coming up is a really interesting project, the Suzanne AI Twin,” Hamel shared.
Hamel spoke about an AI clone of the late Somers at a conference earlier this year. The 89-year-old widower said ‘can’t tell the difference’ between real and AI Somers.
“It was Suzanne. And I asked her a few questions and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away,” he shared his experience.
“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, and 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,” he said.
The AI manages to achieve Somers’ likeness by having studied her 27 books and reviewing all of her past interviews as well.
This means ‘she’s really ready to be able to be asked any question at all and be able to answer it, because the answer will be within her’, says Hamel.
