While the original Trek and I were “born” at the same time and my mother nursed me while “we” watched TOS, I love TNG. However, as I said, it will be a long time before we have a Data or even a holographic doctor like we see on TNG and VOY. The VOY doctor was not only programmed with compassion, but he evolved to understand humans even more. Even Data, while Deanna was giving birth, Pulaski tried to discourage Data from being there with De, by saying De didn’t need the cold hand of technology, but De said, “Data will be fine” because, even though she couldn’t sense him, he strived to exceed the limits of his programming and relate to humans. Unlike today’s technology. However… I do understand people’s fears of AI, but right now, AI is taking over jobs such as writers jobs (I’m a writer and I don’t want AI taking my place). Even actors are fighting AI. The fact is, we need to find reasonable places for AI in which we don’t have to have the human touch or take away from human creativity and imagination.
