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?

Your Mars mission was also 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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Why are there so many single moms in America?

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

Developing a Multimodal AI means challenging a 500 Billion dollar to possibly 1 Trillion dollar worth of investments made by the Big 5 Companies in the States - Google, Meta, Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft

What is your opinion on The Beatles' impact on modern popular music? Are there any other bands with similar impacts on their genre(s)? Why them and not others?

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

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

What do you do to make yourself sleep early?

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

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

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?

What makes girls masturbate?

It is a strange argument

I don't think the Big 5 Companies will take that lying down and may place a lot of obstacles in India's way

Was that a comparable argument ?

Where did Noah build the Ark? Was it in a desert or near water?

Now India has to make a Galardo and compete with a Ferrari made by the States and a Porsche made by China

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

What were my 10 favorite great rock albums that were either forgotten or hardly known by the rock community at large during 1965-‘75?

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

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?

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
