Data actually did very good duplication of art and music until Picard suggested he not be so precise but add a unique difference to make things his own. The question is, did Data adjust masterpieces through some random variation, did he tweak certain things to try and improve, or did he mix other artist work in to give a new style? Is any of this slop if a human does it?
One of the points Picard made (with regards to Data’s violin playing) was that, in choosing two reference performers with radically different styles as his basis, he made a creative choice and created something new.
Unfortunately, we can see how this argument falls apart now in the way that AI slop gets produced.
Hum… Isn’t Data a painter?
Paints nothing but AI slop lol
I…I dont know if this comment makes me mad, or sad.

I disagree;
Data is sentient and made a conscious choice based on his preferences.
Modern AI is fed the information it can pull from.
Data is probably much more than probability rating for choices… but we don’t know how a positronic brain works either, so…
It blinks… a lot.
