Messages sent to an A-I chatbot were at the center of a preliminary hearing for a former NFL player charged with first-degree murder.

Investigators say dozens of messages between Darron Lee and ChatGPT were presented in court as prosecutors outlined their case surrounding the death of Lee’s girlfriend, Gabriella Perpetuo, who was found dead inside their Ooltewah home.

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Detective Brian Lockhart testified that Lee contacted the chatbot just a day before Perpetuo’s death, describing a disturbing situation.

Killers really need to stay off the internets.

White women never learn. Always chasing the Chad’s and Tyrone’s.

Lesson: After you murder the gf, don’t ask AI what to do with the body.

With all that planning, did just breaking up ever enter his mind?

Reading skills, he asked BEFORE the murder.

Tennessee is a death penalty state. And due to the heinous nature of the crime, prosecutors are asking for the death penalty.

Walking away sure would have been easier.

In one message shown in court, Lee wrote: "Don't know what to do right now, fiancee 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? [I don't know] but she isn't waking up or responding, what do I do?"

Thinking skills, he's lying to his chatbot about the details but asking it what he should do.

Defense attorney: “Mr. Lee frequently interacted with the source; he was simply thirsting for knowledge.”

Maybe she did off herself. Black guys will put up with more crap if she’s white and maybe she’s too crazy for anyone else. A match made of 2 missing half’s.

Tip: NEVER lie to your chatbot when asking it questions about how to cover up a murder!

Lee claims the reason the microwave was shattered was because the windows in the home had been up for an extended period of time and once they were closed it caused a drastic shift in temperature, causing it to “explode”.

This guy is a retard.

he must have come up with that one on his own: even the most ignorant chatbot would have known that wouldn’t cut the mustard ...

The NFL needs to rethink their halftime shows.

If they want fans to watch they should have the players beat up on their wives and girlfriends.

Betting on the knockout times should be permitted of course.

Lol.
