Seattle Reign head coach Laura Harvey has admitted that she used ChatGPT to help determine the team’s tactics for multiple matches this NWSL season.

Speaking on the Soccerish Podcast, Harvey said that she started by asking the large language model various questions about tactics and strategy in the NWSL, which eventually turned into more detailed breakdowns on how to beat individual teams in the league.
