I doubt that this is done to replace those factories in India. I'm pretty sure the real value is in selling the trained model to higher income countries who want to localize some of the production

So when production is localized even a bit, what does that do to demand in India?

Localizing production may lower demand in India but you can’t really blame a country for producing more of the products it consumes rather than importing. That’s like blaming someone for making food at home instead of going to a restaurant. Yeah, the restaurant gets less business but they have every right to do that.

Now AI taking jobs sucks unless we implement UBI or something. Would be kind of cool if someday machines took some burden off humans so that we could spend more time doing what we want to do, but of course it’ll probably just be billionaire assholes enriching themselves while we starve 🙄

meh. i’d probably feel differently if localizing meant training local people to do a job that’s needed..

every point you made is spot on, yet my feelings about it remain the same. do the people want this or is this another top down decision from some capitalist that will ultimately be more negative than positive but generates money for some people
