[Star Trek] If Data was so unique as an android, then what was Roger Korby making?
gpt
Data was unique because he had the potential to be very, very human. He could learn, grow, decide things on his own and... Let's not forget. He was fully functional and anatomically correct.

Korby's androids, on the other hand, were trapped by their programming. Unlike the superior Soong-types, the Korby-type androids couldn't learn the way that Data could, they had to be programmed. While Data grew into a very human being after a few years, Korby's androids, after five years, were unable to demonstrate the barest shred of humanity. Despite the fact that several of them were programmed with human minds, unlike the blank slates that the Soong-types began as!

Data was, in short, unique because he could improve on his own, with the only needed input being his own senses. Korby-types, however, had to be programmed for any kind of improvements or changes.
