The widow of late AEW star Brodie Lee, Amanda Huber, has made her feelings clear about the AI-generated wrestling tributes circulating online following PAC’s death.
AEW announced on September 27 that PAC, whose real name was Benjamin Satterley, had passed away at the age of 40. His death led to an outpouring of tributes from across the wrestling world, with fans and fellow wrestlers remembering his career and impact on the industry.
Amanda Huber condemns AI-generated images of Brodie Lee
Huber took to X after seeing several AI-generated images showing deceased wrestlers, including her late husband, “welcoming” PAC to heaven. While some fans may have meant the posts as heartfelt tributes, Huber said they had the opposite effect on her.
“The f*cking ill I feel seeing this sh*t.
I hate it so much.
It feels like romanticizing this sh*t.
Worst part is I always end up tagged like I’m gonna be like I love it so much, thank you for your creativity and doing this’
UGH,” Huber wrote.
Her criticism wasn’t just about the use of AI. Huber explained that the technology itself went against the values of both PAC and her late husband.
According to Huber, PAC “actively HATED AI,” and she believes Brodie Lee would have too.
“Especially when Ben actively HATED AI.
And I know for a fact my husband would have too. He believed in art. He consistently paid friends for their art.
When he passed I had people offer to send me their art and I paid for multiple pieces because it felt like it dishonored his memory for not supporting artists.
I’m not trying to make this about myself but losing my friend Ben has been tough enough but to see this trash on my timeline only stings more,” Huber explained.
Brodie Lee, whose real name was Jon Huber, died in December 2020 at the age of 41. His passing had a major impact on the wrestling community. PAC’s death has now brought another wave of grief to that same wrestling community.
