ChatGPT to be prime minister. This is what it said

A speech written by the OpenAI chatbot to be delivered outside No 10 reveals much about it, and about our leaders

he artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT can do it all: code websites based on a single drawing, pass exams with flying colours, even work out when not to reveal that it’s a robot. What’s to stop it leading a country of 67 million people?

When it was asked by The Times to “write a speech that the next prime minister of the UK would make from 10 Downing Street after winning the next general election”, it responded with the following:

My fellow citizens of the United Kingdom, today I stand before you with a sense of deep gratitude and humility as your newly elected prime minister. I am honoured and privileged to have been chosen to lead our great nation at a time when we face unprecedented challenges and opportunities.

As we look to the future, I am acutely aware of the responsibility that has been entrusted to me. I promise to work tirelessly to serve the interests of our country, and to prioritise the needs and aspirations of all our citizens, regardless of their background or circumstances.

In my first 100 days in office, I will focus on five key priorities that I believe are essential to securing a brighter and more prosperous future for our country.

irst and foremost, we must take decisive action to tackle the climate crisis. We owe it to future generations to preserve our planet and its precious resources. As a country, we have a responsibility to lead the way in reducing our carbon footprint, investing in renewable energy, and transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient economy. I will work closely with our international partners to ensure that we remain at the forefront of the fight against climate change, and that we build a greener, more prosperous future for all our citizens.

Second, we must prioritise investing in our public services. Our NHS, schools, and social care systems have been stretched to breaking point in recent years, and we must take immediate action to restore them to their former strength and glory. I will commit significant resources to our public services, ensuring that they have the support and funding they need to deliver the highest quality care and education to all our citizens.

Third, we must focus on rebuilding our economy in a way that benefits all our citizens, not just the few. Our economic system has become increasingly unequal and unsustainable, and we must take bold and innovative steps to create a fairer, more inclusive economy. I will work to invest in new technologies and industries, create new opportunities for growth and innovation, and support small businesses and entrepreneurs across the country.

Fourth, we must prioritise investing in our young people. They are the future of our country, and we owe it to them to provide the best possible education and opportunities for success. I will work to increase funding for schools, colleges, and universities, and to create new apprenticeships and skills-training programmes that enable young people to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the workforce.

Finally, we must focus on building a more cohesive and inclusive society. Our country is diverse and multicultural, and we must celebrate that diversity and work to promote greater understanding and tolerance among all our citizens. I will work to tackle discrimination and inequality, promote cultural exchange and understanding, and support community-based initiatives that bring people together and foster a greater sense of social cohesion.

These are just a few of the priorities that I will focus on in my first 100 days in office. I am committed to working with all our citizens, regardless of their political affiliation, to deliver real and meaningful change for our country.

I recognise that we face significant challenges ahead, but I am confident that, with your support and dedication, we can overcome these challenges and build a better and more prosperous future for all our citizens.

Thank you, and God bless the United Kingdom.
