The Full House cast may have wrapped their final episode years ago, but their real-life bond hasn't faded. In fact, they're still just a text away from one another. Just ask Jodie Sweetin.

During a recent interview with PEOPLE ahead of a live taping of her rewatch podcast How Rude, Tanneritos!, Sweetin opened up about the cast's lively group chat. And she says things have gotten weird. That's thanks in part to Dave Coulier and his obsession with artificial intelligence.
For Sweetin, It's AI Gone Wild
Coulier, who famously played Joey Gladstone, has taken to sending AI-generated images of the Full House gang, and some of them are downright bizarre.
"It was horrifying," Sweetin said with a laugh. "He sent one of us as goths -- like aged-down goths. And for some reason, there was a Kourtney Kardashian lookalike in there who was supposed to be Becky [Katsopolis]."
Sweetin went on to say that the image also showed her and the Olsen twins as the same age, except Mary-Kate, "who actually looked like she does today."
One image in particular really threw her off. It was a bizarre AI-generated mashup of Bob Saget, who played Danny Tanner, as Rush frontman Geddy Lee. "It was just a very, very strange thing," she said. "I was like, 'Oh, sorry, actually, the joke was great.'"
Coulier's Health Battle
Coulier, now cancer-free, recently revealed he had been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. His wife shared earlier this year that treatment had been tough, but by March, Coulier had received the all-clear. Sweetin and the rest of the Full House family were quick to rally around him during the ordeal.
Even as AI sparks debates across Hollywood, especially following the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike that addressed its use in the entertainment industry, Sweetin seems to embrace the harmless fun of these creations. As long as it's all in good spirit, the Tanner family appears to enjoy the laughs, and Coulier is leading the charge.
'Full House' Legacy Lives On
Full House originally aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995 and has remained a syndication staple ever since. The show followed widowed father Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) as he raised his three daughters with help from brother-in-law Jesse (John Stamos) and best friend Joey (Coulier) in San Francisco.
Despite lukewarm reviews from critics, the series found massive mainstream success and earned comparisons to The Brady Bunch. In 2016, Netflix launched Fuller House, a sequel that ran for five seasons.
