Did anybody promted data to do it?

or data did that on their own?

Data is not an LLM or a Slop generator, is an AGI.

Let's get one thing straight: generative AI is more like the Borg than it is like Data. Discarding humanity and individuality while assimilating everything within reach for the benefit of the corrupt hivemind. And why? Because resistance is futile?

Data, on the other hand is acting on his own preferences and agency. What he lacks is emotional content, and it's what prevents him from creating the expressive art and music that he strives to make (as is a key theme in multiple episodes where data paints, does poetry, plays violin, etc.).

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses,
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

If Soong had designed data with the intent to make his creator rich and powerful beyond any sanity or measure. (Instead of being a chill nerd) there's no doubt in my mind startrek would be a lot less utopian.

A recurring criticism of Data's art is that he could masterfully reproduce other works, but his creativity was limited to borrowing elements of other people's art and recombining them. It's why he is often told his art lacked soul. The advice his friends repeatedly give him is to try to use art to express himself as an individual, not to feed more works into an algorithm until he produces a better art slurry.

It's almost like you never actually saw the show. They constsntly criticised Data's art in all forms because it was always missing that human element. Even when he is solving mysteries as Holmes, Polaski points out he's just memorizing the books, and the holodeck is just re-arranging details from the books and not creating something new or novel (at least up until they ask it to make a mystery to challenge him for real and it makes Moriarty sentient).

Of course it couldn't have passion or emotional resonance to it; he doesn't experience emotion. Vulkan art on the other hand...

I think Data is too similar to being human to be mistaken for a clanker.

I think the real test will be if LLMs start acting like exocomps. I don't think this is at all likely but I never would have predicted that LLMs could be as accurate as they are or have so many weird emergent phenomena.

I’m pretty sure the holodeck works on some kind of ai as well. I think that star trek taking place in a post scarcity future clears up a lot of problems with current gen ai.

"Slop; repetitive, mediocre and generated without criteria, this means you don't like this piece of art? There is something to change?" Data said.

Dr. Soong shitting and sobbing rn

Data was a sentient, living being capable of creativity. The "AI" big tech are showing down our throat these days are just overglorify programs who blends existing image together following some prompt.

Geordi is pretty cocky for man who relies on a artificial form of vision.

the fact that data is laying physical paint onto a physical canvas and having to evaluate and create from the point of the medium tells me that he's not slop.

of course he's a fictional character. but yeah.

This physically hurt me.
