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?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

The only answer would be a possible advantage for ISRO, sometime in the distant future

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

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?

India made a Maruti 800 that could take a trip between two places, at a lower cost that the States that had a Ferrari take the same trip long ago

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

Why do certain religions consider menstruating women to be impure? Where did the concept of impurity stem from?

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?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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