Let's get one thing straight: generative AI is more like the Borg than it is like Data. Discarding humanity and individuality while assimilating everything within reach for the benefit of the corrupt hivemind. And why? Because resistance is futile?
Data, on the other hand is acting on his own preferences and agency. What he lacks is emotional content, and it's what prevents him from creating the expressive art and music that he strives to make (as is a key theme in multiple episodes where data paints, does poetry, plays violin, etc.).
