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?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

Why can't we send flat Earthers to space and show them the shape of Earth?

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

It is a strange argument

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?

How do you have intercourse with a girl who can remember you for a long time?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study

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

A second point is - the Moon Mission was 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?

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

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
