And the emotional blubber fest around the computer. This could have been done as full episode with the AI taking over the ship in some perilous situation. But no, she just won't tell them some coordinates. I'm just imagining how this would have played out in TNG, and they wouldn't have spent 30 minutes sitting in one room hugging and talking.

In TNG there would have been a very serious trial, probably with a skeptical admiral who later comes around, and realizes that Data / nanites are sentient and shouldn’t be used as tools.
