Dr. Noonian Soong, idiot savant.
He chose to go with a slightly autistic positronic brain which can’t (or won’t) do contractions, over the previous model, which was too suave to the point of becoming sociopathic.
Should’ve gone with smaller corrections, perhaps, but Data works quite well.
Alternatively: hmm, okay Lore was evil… What if I model the next one after a Vulcan personality, but don’t tell anyone so he develops an identity crisis lol
I was a little surprised that Worf didn’t want to sing. It sounds a lot like a Klingon drinking song
Except when he does, but we will just pretend we did not hear that.
It is a bit of a contradiction that he can’t use contractions. It’s a contraction contradiction. A contracdiction!
*cannot
Wasn’t there an episode that establishes Lore was first, but hit an uncanny valley that people didn’t like? The response was to make Data more robotic including no contractions.
Says a lot about the other androids, doesn’t it?
Meanwhile llama2 sounding like an actual human
