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 ?

Which AI tool is capable of writing code and creating software from simple instructions?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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

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

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