I binged ST:NG before it went away again on Netflix. The more I heard from Data, the more he sounded like where Ai should be heading: Quick, thorough reasoning but followed by explicit, tagged verification from external ground truth.

There needs to be a more meta, layered approach to reason. Different personalities viewing the output with different hats on: "That's a bold claim, champ. Search required." But I guess the current real-time, interactive nature of these systems makes it difficult to justify.
