Some scriptwriter/poet, wrote an episode, including a poem in the style of a futuristic android coming to terms with human nature - to the point we can all find meaning and parallel in the work spoken by a fictional character… and I think that shows some real skills.

Data’s poems sort of read like they were written by ChatGPT. Right?

The positronic pimp!
