passed away from breast cancer at the age of 76 in 2023.

Quotes:
According to the 89-year-old producer, the beyond-the-grave rendition
of his partner of 55 years is indistinguishable from the real thing.
Suzanne AI Twin was reportedly trained on “hundreds of interviews,” as
well as Somers’ 27 books.

“It was Suzanne,” Hamel told People. “And I asked her a few questions
and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away. When
you look at the finished one next to the real Suzanne, you can’t tell
the difference.”

Hamel told People that “it was Suzanne’s idea.” The entertainer said
that he and Somers got the idea from futurist and computer scientist
Ray Kurzweil, with whom they had been friends for “30-some years.”

Interesting story.
He had plenty of data from her interviews and her books.
It would be more difficult for a less famous person.
