What do you think of India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw comparing the Indian government's efforts to build a localised AI model to sending a mission to the moon at a fraction of the cost?

So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about

It is a strange argument

Was that a comparable argument ?

Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?

Ashwin talked of the Moon mission being at a fraction of the cost but did he also talk of the objectives of the various moon missions of other countries?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

For one thing, moon travel is not a commercial thing and the benefits of moon travel are primarily futuristic and at a level which cannot be immediately monetized

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

So if you translate his speech, is he saying India would create a low cost AI model which will fulfil some very basic objectives and not be anywhere near the level of the latest versions of GPT or Deepseek?

Has anyone who has been a victim of a narcissist made contact with the other victims of the narcissist? Did it help to confirm what you suspected about the narcissists?

Without any of this being discussed, Ashwin going directly to cost, seems a very untenable argument

A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic

A Maruti 800 and a Ferrari both transport people from one point to another but their entire purpose is extremely different is it not?

On the other hand, a mission to the moon, something already done by everyone else of consequence, is not something that would challenge anyone's interest in any way

Didn't the States put living people on the moon?
