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?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

It is a strange argument

How should one handle a situation where they suspect their partner of cheating, but their partner denies it and claims it is all in their head?

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

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?

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Why am I attracted to older men?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Neither China nor Egypt, the largest construction visible from space is located in Europe. - Farmingdale Observer

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

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

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

James Webb telescope has photographed 3 ultra-massive galaxies, and it changes everything, according to these scientists. - Farmingdale Observer

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

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

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