Rapidly becoming clear that the most Sci-Fi element of Star Trek was individual people retaining any level of competence in a world where you can ask the computer to do everything for you.

have you seen the one where they let a new kind of supercomputer run the ship which promptly goes nuts and bc they don't know how to turn it off Kirk ends up having to talk it into killing itself

@prdctidea.bsky.social I have! So unrealistic. They should have let it keep going because computers running ships is the future and problems like it going homicidal are simply the price we must all pay.

I imagine that the unwritten part of Star Trek society (unwritten cause for that society it is the water they swim in) is that anyone that uses the computer to do everything for them is shamed into oblivion.
