Ex-NY Jets linebacker Darron Lee was desperate for help after he allegedly killed his fiancée at his Tennessee home in February. Lee allegedly asked ChatGPT what to do when someone is unresponsive.
The message read:
“Don’t know what to do right now, Fiancée did her crazy thing again, and now she’s messed up, I wake up and she has two swollen eyes (i didn’t do anything, self inflicted). She stabbed herself, slit her eye? Idk, but she isn’t waking up or responding, what do I do?”
According to prosecutors, the chatbot told Lee: “Here’s what to say without framing it as ‘police trouble.’”
Lee also asked the chatbot if a fall would cause puncture wounds.
Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp said Lee used ChatGPT to help him clean up the crime scene.
Lee was arrested on February 5 and charged with first-degree murder in the death of his fiancee, Gabriella Carvalho Perpétuo. He was also charged with tampering with evidence.
Lee was the New York Jets’ first-round draft pick in 2016.
He previously played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. The standout at Ohio State was named defensive MVP of the 2015 Sugar Bowl.
