Imagine, if you will… this concept for an episode of TNG
Somewhere in space the Enterprise crew encounters a highly industrialized and technological planet that still hasn’t achieved warp tech. They HAVE, however, created a generative AI model that passes the Turing Test, and their industrial complex is off the chain.
They somehow manage to capture Data, and are able to produce a viable “clone” of him which does not actually possess sentience, but which can algorithmically replicate all aspects of Data’s psyche based on the cumulative information they are able to extract from his neural-network.
How long until the crew realizes that Data has been replaced, and how?

The Klingon origin myth really happened.
Fun theory I came up with today.
In Deep Space Nine’s “You Are Cordially Invited”, the wedding of Jadzia and Worf gives us the history of the Klingon people.
The story goes that the gods created a Klingon “heart”, forging it out of “fire and steel”. The gods then noticed the Klingon heart was lonely, so they made a second one.
The story then goes on to reveal that the two Klingons (Kortar and Shelka) then “destroyed the gods who created them and turned the heavens to ashes”.
Why? Well as Worf tells us, “they were more trouble than their worth.”
In TNGs: The Chase, we learn that the majority of humanoid species in the galaxy were created by an ancient race, which Starfleet calls The Progenitors.
Humans, Vulcans, Cardassians, and even Klingons were all created by the same alien scientists.
Or, if you will, “gods”.
My theory is that a team of Progenitors created the first Klingon “prototype”. They then followed up with its mate. Because the Progenitors made one of the most violent and strong species of humanoids, they weren’t prepared for their own creation. The two test Klingons broke out of their laboratory containment and slaughtered the science team that created them.
And the rest is Klingon history.
EDIT: Found some typos.
