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?

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?
So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission
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
What are some things you do for your form of self-care?
Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?
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
Are there girls here who like group sex?
Does India have critical areas that need AI models?
I don't think the Big 5 Companies will take that lying down and may place a lot of obstacles in India's way
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
SpaceX adds 26 satellites to its Starlink constellation with launch from California - Space
Does India have the necessary set up in place?
Didn't the States put living people on the moon?
It is a strange argument
New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems - Ars Technica
Is it not an entirely different ball game?
A Maruti 800 and a Ferrari both transport people from one point to another but their entire purpose is extremely different is it not?

So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about
Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic
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
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 Chinese ones bring some soil back?
How do I maintain and care for granite countertops in a coastal climate like Pompano Beach?

Was that a comparable argument ?
The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study

Without any of this being discussed, Ashwin going directly to cost, seems a very untenable argument
Does India have the necessary AI Talent?
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?
