Star Trek is more useful for considering philosophical questions than technical ones,

This is basically a philosophical question though. Can you achieve artificial intelligence by imitating it closely enough. GenAI imitates intelligence, and a lot of the Silicon Valley techbros think that it's going to lead to actual intelligence.

The philosophy of Star Trek seems to be no. For them there was a fundamental difference in how an artificial brain would work so that you couldn't get there with just a powerful computer. That's why Data had a "positronic net" and not just a powerful version of the isolinear circuits they had in the normal computers.
