NASHVILLE, Tenn.—A former NFL player who is charged with murder in his girlfriend’s death in Tennessee asked an AI bot for advice on what to do about the woman’s injuries and what the signs of a fall are before he called 911, authorities said in court.

New York Jets first-round draft pick Darron Lee’s conversations with ChatGPT about Gabriella Perpetuo started on Feb. 4, the day before first responders went to a home in Ooltewah, a Chattanooga suburb, for a call of CPR in progress and found her already deceased, according to messages displayed by prosecutors during a court hearing Monday.
