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.

Indeed. Like a total asshole. It's not such a terrible episode as you might think though.

More like to achieve the outcome the computer has to divert all power from all other systems (except minimal life support) for about 42 days... and even then it just produces something that was almost, but not quite, unlike tea.

Stop that, you're hurting it!

Also, if they were powering the holodeck with coal generators, the crew might be complaining about the fumes making the Enterprise unlivable.

It helps that the holodeck is on an isolated power source. To ensure no critical ship operations are disrupted

That one took me a Minuet

What’s even worse is the way that container moved, it was clearly filled with nothing.

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.
