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?

Was that a comparable argument ?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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?

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

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?

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

What is the dirtiest thing you have witnessed your wife do?

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

It is a strange argument

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