And I asked her a few questions, and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SEI_271272189-9960-e1761112093343.jpg\" class=\"article-image wp-image-24490583\" alt=\"Suzanne Somers clone\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><br \/>\n\t\tHe shared thatyou can\u2019t tell them apart (Picture: Realbotix)<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When you look at the finished one next to the real Suzanne, you can\u2019t tell the difference. It\u2019s amazing. And I mean, I\u2019ve been with Suzanne for 55 years, so I know what her face looks like.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Hamel added that when he \u2018looks at the two of them side by side\u2019 he can\u2019t even tell the real and AI version apart. As for his interaction with the AI, he said he said it was \u2018strange\u2019 at first, but he got used to the idea soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>To create as close a likeness as possible, the AI model was trained on copious amounts of Somers content. <\/p>\n<p>As her husband told <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/alan-hamel-suzanne-somers-ai-project-exclusive-11832986\" data-type=\"link\"

a lot of interviews that she has done, hundreds of interviews, so that she\u2019s 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.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SEI_256639585-2c10-e1761112202418.jpg\" class=\"article-image

Baron\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n<p>He even shared that this AI plan was given the seal of approval by Somers herself \u2013 with the pair discussing it for decades after Bill Gates first introduced them to the futuristic idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018She said, \u201cI think we should do that\u2026 I think it\u2019ll be very interesting and we\u2019ll provide a service to my fans and to people who have been

idea\u2019 despite his initial concerns they may not.<\/p>\n<p>He is still testing her reception outside the home, however, sharing that when he suggested her as one of the honourees for the Kennedy Centre, they said they \u2018have to be alive\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img width=\"532\" height=\"607\"
