The dots! 😂 😂

This is an insult to Picard because it's saying he chose an AI for his crew without making sure it works.

A better premise would be AIs that Picard rejected before choosing Data.

Are you implying Picard made sure Data is fully functional? 😏

Pretty sure he left that test to Tasha. 😁

"We are changing the universe history here! Next steps..."

And what a great reason to not bring ChatGPT to Mars!

What is this about?

For some reason, there's a version of this going around whatsapp with both the final mocking of Musk and your tag edited out 🤷‍♂️ I only happened to stumble upon your original version by accident.

ah dang that's too bad, I guess it happens. Like it has the bottom two panels cut off? I hope most people are seeing the original

No, literally just the right half of the very last panel where the speech bubble about South Africa is.

Send me a DM and I'll send it to you: no sense giving it further public exposure!

Data slander

Data-“i just drank all the ship’s water to provide that answer “

Don't say that word, Neelix might show up!

My dad met the guy who plays Neelix at a signing once and straight up told him that his son (me) finds Neelix incredibly fucking annoying. He was non-plussed.

Honestly that's horrible. Like, say nothing instead of being needlessly mean to an actor for one of his characters.

Huh. you just made me look up a word, bravo

And ending with that facepalm - Brilliant!

🤣

Star Trek The Next Generative

Hey, don't do my man Data dirty like that! :P Just kidding, that made me laugh.

Big agree here.

It makes me realize how much AI sounds not like Data, but like Kryten. (Red Dwarf)

Yes, but Talkie Toaster

How would your washing machine know what your shirt is made of and whether its construction requires special handling? How much are you spending on computerized infrastructure to replace reading the damn tag?

can't wait to have automatic doors with Genuine People Personalities™

lol who are these products even for? It takes two seconds to see how much milk you have. If your schedule is too busy to open a door and look at a jug you need to slow down

People are exhausted and stressed out from the ongoing escalating disaster that is capitalism in the modern day. People would absolutely ask an AI to make the grocery list for them. I don’t know when they’ll realize that it’s untrustworthy, but the hope is by that time, it’ll be an addiction.

This whole thing with AI grocery lists makes me wonder - how can it possibly function? The whole point of a grocery list is: - check MY kitchen for missing items - decide what I want to get - put those on a list I just don't see how AI would get through the first two, crucial steps.

I’m not a programmer, so take with a grain of salt. But I would guess there would be cameras in the fridge clocking different items based on appearance and noting when said item hasn’t been returned to the fridge in a day or so.

Maybe with ten thousand more dead trees, it can sometimes recognize when the ketchup bottle is low.

The salesman who tried to sell me one claimed it would let me look into my fridge from the store. 1. The other two people in the household know that if they don't come too, the cost is being on "Do we need Thingy" duty. 2. That fucker won't fit through my door.

It’s for fun fun fun in the sun sun sun

Genuinely, rich people It's a thing I noticed where Gen ai design and ambitions are catering to the ultra rich person's need to be coddled in the ultra rich person's way and that makes it weirdo and anti useful to literally everyone else on earth

You got pitches to read your milk level for you or do all the fun parts of making art for you because rich people are used to having servants do everything for them. You got the yes man design bc they're used to no one contradicting them ever. youtu.be/aAuy4UmWaZs?...

You got the whole thing about feeding a prompt into a bullshit machine to spit something out instead of taking the time to find words that mean something to you because the ultra rich are used to telling their team to do a thing and then come back to the thing having been done

You also got the whole thing about ai replacing humans because rich people are used to being the boss and at war with the existence of salaries and pay for work at all. If anyone who worked a day in their life was in charge, it would have been developed as a helpmate to workers, like medical tech is

Grok having been made by Crapola, Inc. makes a lot of sense.

This is obviously Lore pretending to be Data, and doing a poor job of it. Note his use of contractions. 🤓 And he fails to mention that those Soong Brand products are "Often Wrong."

Me when I reached the last panel.

We wanted Data, we got Drunk Troi.

Missed opportunity to title this cartoon “Data Validation”

... @untitledscifishow.bsky.social ... 🤣

Call up Mr. Spiner and get me this audio! Or it will soundlessly echo in my head forever.

This is so good that I saved it to my hard drive. It must survive the coming digital dark age as a warning to the future!

The trial on whether this Data is sentient would be a lot shorter than the real one’s, I feel.

Everyone cheers when Riker switches off this Data.

📌

@data it is true ?

DataGPT? No, DataGDI.

Damn, Data is a Grok iteration. That ruins everything.

No no, Data is actual AI. AI that can think and interpret information, that can understand context and the intentions of others. These "AI" programs people are using in 2025 are just digital sausage makers that chew up google search results and shit out the result they think you wanted.

CE JURA????

This this this! An actual intelligence will never be built solely of aimless or manually-aimed neural networks.

*Lore shows up and does a hate crime*

Fantastic

I mean...the ships computer itself would be a waaaay bigger problem with how much they ask it to do. Or the Holodeck programming...

Star Trek VII: Where the fuck does Quark siphon all his power from

i think i felt my soul leave my body by panel 2, incredible stuff

To anyone upset, I too am extremely concerned by this misinformation concerning the extremely serious documentary series, Star Trek: the Next Generation, also I don't know what a joke is either

Apparently that's uncannily close to some of the newest episodes (of whatever STrek series it is now)

@carloshidalgo.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣

Lo he reposteado hace rato. No está usted a lo que tiene que estar.

¿Yo aquí haciendo mi obra social con un nyordo subdesarrollado y me lo agradece así? Será volver a apadrinar a un niño extremeño...

Llaman de Waterloo, que le vaya usted a comprar unos vapers al del motxo en la cabeza.

Le voy a traer a usted Nicorette intravenosa y me tendrá que agradecerme el favor.

Fortuna Largo, por favor.

No os conozco a ninguno de los dos, pero esta interacción es oro puro...

📌

Panel 4 is a treasure.

Panel 7: Data declares himself MechaHitler

@prislameira.bsky.social @fernandaalcantara.bsky.social DataGPT.

um inútil hahahahaha

.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"It appears I am missing several memory engrams ... there they are." "You'd best wipe them before putting them back in, we loaned them to Elon Musk." "I am sure I will be fine, Geordie."

Thanks, I hate it! >.<

Dont do Data like this 😢

oh man Brent Spiner could absolutely smoke "Kill the Boer" put that on his next record
