Overview
- Hamel tells People he has demonstrated the AI twin and says the likeness and responses are so close he “can’t tell the difference.”
- He plans to host the AI on SuzanneSomers.com with 24/7 access so fans can converse with the replica once he is satisfied with the build.
- For health questions, Hamel says responses will route to doctors Somers interviewed, with prior medical vetting described as coming from Life Extension.
- Hamel frames the project as fulfilling Somers’ long-discussed idea dating back to talks with futurist Ray Kurzweil, and says his family supports it.
- Page Six reports a robotic replica tied to the project was built by Realbotix Corp in partnership with Hollo.AI, and notes the Kennedy Center declined an AI appearance because it honors only living people.
