The digital resurrection of Suzanne Somers: Ai brings back the beloved star

Iconic TV star Suzanne Somers has been brought back from the dead by her husband and artificial intelligence (Ai). The beloved Three’s Company star died of cancer in 2023 at the age of 76, but thanks to her vision and widower Alan Hamel, the sitcom blonde is resurrected.

Hamel, who is at the forefront of this ambitious project, draws from Somers’ extensive legacy, which includes 27 books and countless interviews, to create a model that captures her life, career, and the heartwarming love story she shared with Hamel.

According to Daily Voice, this extraordinary endeavour was inspired by long discussions with futurist Ray Kurzweil, whom Hamel affectionately describes as “the smartest man on the planet.” Now, after decades of anticipation, the project is finally taking shape.

The AI, developed by Realbotix Corp, has the astounding capability of engaging in conversations about Somers’ prolific career and the enduring love she shared with Hamel. During a recent demonstration of the “Suzanne AI Twin,” Hamel noted the surreal experience of interacting with the model. “When I asked her a few questions and she answered them, it blew me and everybody else away. It’s Suzanne; you can’t tell the difference,” he shared with PEOPLE magazine.

But that’s not all. Hamel has plans to reunite Suzanne with her late Three’s Company co-star John Ritter, should the actor’s estate grant permission. While this may seem like a quirky Hollywood story, reactions from netizens have varied widely, with some expressing concern and others fascination.

One follower remarked, “feels like an episode of Black Mirror,” while another quipped that the concept “makes Black Mirror look like Sesame Street,” as comments reflecting the unsettling nature of this technology poured in. Observations like “Seems kind of creepy” and “I’m definitely getting Pet Cemetery AI edition vibes” stirred up an electric conversation online, prompting fans to ponder the ethical implications of resurrecting a person through artificial means.

Once perfected, the Suzanne AI will be available for fans on SuzanneSomers.com, providing an unprecedented opportunity to engage in real-time conversations with the star, resurrected in the digital realm.
