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 ?
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
Is it possible to run away from home at 16? What are some essential items to bring for survival?
A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic
The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study
Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

It is a strange argument
Now India has to make a Galardo and compete with a Ferrari made by the States and a Porsche made by China
Didn't the States put living people on the moon?
So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about
The only answer would be a possible advantage for ISRO, sometime in the distant future
So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission
Can someone with ADHD describe the feeling of paralysis and how it affects them?
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

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?
Does India have the necessary set up in place?
I don't think the Big 5 Companies will take that lying down and may place a lot of obstacles in India's way
Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?
Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?
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 AI Talent?
Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?
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
