Yes agreed 10000%. S1 Picard was so confusing to me because of what you said. Did nobody in the writers room watch that episode of TNG?? There’s a few more too!!
“The Most Toys” asserts Data’s humanity over and over again. That episode with the Exocomps talks about tech sentience thru evolution and the effect on self preservation. That other episode about terraforming and finding the inorganic life forms. So many to choose from!
First 30 seconds of Picard: “These damn dirty robot slaves are so whiny and cranky!”
Me: 🤦
Yeah me too. I tried searching around but it’s hard to find something that’s not sci-fi related about this topic. It might also be called “kledging” from what I read, but not sure if that’s the exact same thing.
