    Computer, generate a girlfriend for Geordie that won’t get him in trouble for sexually harassing a Starfleet engineer this time.

        There was an episode where he was trying to enhance the warp drive or something to get out of some situation or other, when he asked the computer to generate a virtual copy of the person who designed it to discuss the changes, who turned out to be a woman. Long story short, Geordie falls in love with the virtual copy, eventually in a later episode meets the real person who isn’t anything like the computer guessed she was, and she eventually finds Geordie’s duplicate and is justifiably upset and creeped out.

          More details: he doesn’t want to keep asking the computer and since he was already using the holodeck he asked for a physical representation to talk to. Then, when she was too stiff, he asked the computer to make a personality. Since the Barclay gave it a lot of training, Geordi ends up having a relationship with her.

          Then later the real deal sees Geordi’s fantasy woman and is understandably upset.

          I don’t remember that one but I remember the one where he created her and got his creepy little crush. I guess maybe I can start rewatching… holy crap that’s a lot of episodes.

            Honestly, I’m glad they did the second one to say, “Even if it wasn’t his intention, that was inappropriate of Geordie to do.”

          I remember feeling like he was kind of pathetic, but I haven’t seen it for a long time. He was the first guy with an AI girlfriend lol

    I’m curious if this was inspired by my comment in another post or completely independent. I’m cool either way just wondering if someone else independently had this thought or not…

    Edit: I certainly was not first to the party, this was around a year before I commented.

        Oh, I really don’t care one way or another, just really curious if I actually had a unique original take on something or not that inspired others or just had a pretty milquetoast obvious take on it.

        Edit: Ok, did a google search, it was at least circulating back in 2025, so had a pretty redundant take.
