""Obviously, Suzanne was greatly loved, not only by her family, but by millions of people," he said. "One of the projects that we have coming up is a really interesting project, the Suzanne AI Twin.""
""I asked her a few questions and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away," he recalled of a demo presented at a conference in March. "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.""
""it was Suzanne's idea""
Alan Hamel partnered with Realbotix to create a robotic, AI-driven replica of Suzanne Somers, modeled on her Three's Company character Chrissy Snow. The project trained a large language model on Somers' 27 books and hundreds of interviews to enable broad-response capability. Hamel described a conference demo as astonishing and nearly indistinguishable from Somers, claiming decades of familiarity made him unable to tell them apart. Footage circulating online suggests the robot may lack Somers' warmth. The project reportedly aligned with Somers' prior interest after an introduction to the idea by Ray Kurzweil, and she died in October 2023.
