That’s all very true, but it doesn’t stop me from feeling like Data would have a better time learning about humour from any other crew. Another great instance is his conversation with Guinan during the series, when she tries to explain jokes to him with “you’re a droid and I’m a noid”. I wasn’t laughing, either, and I don’t believe it’s because I have an odd sense of humour.

Then she gives up and sends him to the holodeck to learn from a computer generated stand up comic. Which is like telling ChatGPT to learn psychotherapeutic techniques from Eliza.

The poor man never stood a chance.
