Geordi snooped in her personnel file then told the ship's computer to make a clanker version of her he could goon over and she takes issue, that's called "turns out to not be as friendly as what he was expecting."
Lmao

LeVar Burton once complimented my walk. It was the best moment of my life.

Didn't The Doctor (Voyager) also have this issue? When his matrix was deteriorating, they called up his creator's hologram. Then he met his own creator who refused his existence.
Or that other Cardassian doctor which was programmed based on prior data, turned out to not be so moral.
