    Not wrong.

    Also, I was alot older than when I first watched the series…that the entire Data vs Lore monkier went right over my head…

    …Even when ST:TNG S1E13 is litterly titled "Datalore".

    Took season 3 of Picard for me to get it finally. 🤔🤯

    He also learned more social skills with experience during the show, but retained some level of awkwardness from his early experiences. This is in line with how people work.

    He lacks emotions. He can’t understand what others are feeling because he doesn’t feel things. He was built and developed with the human colonists where Soong worked. He lived with them, and their input shaped his programming; he was not kept in isolation apart from the society around them (though he did have those memories wiped when Soong implanted the memories of the colonists when the Crystalline Entity attacked). The only thing he lacks is an emotional understanding, since he has no emotions.

    Yeah, but Data is actually intelligent and brilliant. ChatGPT is often just giving best averaged answers based on what’s most likely - and still hallucinates even in the latest version.

    I haven’t used it, but it happens even in the demo they showed.

      Technically he’s a Spock stand in: hyper logical but not quite getting humanity.

      This characteristic… In fact lots of characteristics get shared and mix and matched across DS9, TNG, and Voyager.

      In Voyager Seven of Nine and The Doctor are the “not quite understanding humanity” characters. In DS9, it’s Odo.

      Ideally newer Trek would do this too, but it might also want to have:

      A quirky or modded engineer: LaForge, O’Brien, Scotty, Be’lana.

      A superior strength character: Spock, Data, Odo, Worf, Seven of Nine, Tuvok.

      …and maybe a couple of psychic characters, Spock, Kes, Tuvok, Seven of Nine, Benjamin.

      You’ll probably also need some mentally brilliant characters, a Klingon, and someone who doesn’t fit in due to a negative background and is jaded about it.

      …a brilliant doctor helps too.

      These characteristics are needed so you can write certain storyline types and stand alone episodes.
