We asked ChatGPT-5 which state of India it would become the chief minister of, if it had the opportunity of being for a day, this is what the latest LLM model GPT-5 told us:
“Fun question — I’ll play along. If I could be Chief Minister for one day, I’d pick Kerala."
Why Kerala? because it already scores high on health, literacy and public services — which means one good, well-targeted day could plant seeds that scale quickly and visibly,” said ChatGPT.
ChatGPT’s hour-by-hour working ideas for the state of Kerala
ChatGPT chose an hour by hour plan for the next 24 hours for lasting impact.
According to ChatGPT, it plans to set the tone and unlock resources.
Firstly it wants to hold a short emergency cabinet meeting and sign three executive orders: a one-year pilot for community telemedicine expansion, a “rapid-permit” order to fast-track small-business licenses in designated districts, and a contingency fund release for coastal resilience projects.
Release a transparent dashboard (public real-time portal) for these pilots and name a five-member independent oversight team with 30-day reporting deadlines.
For the late morning — health & education sprint
• Launch a day-one rollout of mobile telemedicine vans to underserved panchayats (partner with local hospitals and medical colleges). Even a small fleet and a clear operational plan can show quick wins.
• Direct the Education Dept to start an accelerated digital literacy drive for schoolteachers — issue grants for low-cost tablets and a week-long training module to be run by district education officers.
Afternoon — livelihoods & climate resilience
• Announce a micro-grant window for 1,000 women-led microenterprises in handicrafts, fisheries and eco-tourism, with simplified application checkpoints and same-day provisional approval.
• Grant immediate approval for pilot mangrove restoration and storm-shelter upgrades in two high-risk coastal panchayats, and commission local contractors (job creation + resilience).
Late afternoon — governance hacks that scale
• Order the digitisation and one-day audit of three high-impact permits (food stalls, tiny tourism homestays, small manufacturers) and launch a “one-window” e-portal to reduce waiting times.
• Announce a small innovation fund and open a two-week challenge for civic tech startups to build features for the public dashboard.
Evening — culture, accountability, and a promise
• Host a public town-hall (live-streamed) in a coastal district, hear three citizen stories, and publicly commit to publishing the pilot outcomes in 30 days.
• End the day by inaugurating a community cultural fair celebrating local art, cuisine and climate-resilience projects — a symbolic reminder: governance must also celebrate identity.
