Remember how in Star Trek everyone is oddly infatuated with 20th century arts and culture? And, like, nothing has really been created since the 20th century?

It's because of generative AI, right? This is how we get stuck in a feedback loop of 20th century crap.

FOREVER!!

@jjfphd Good theory, but Star Trek explicitly hates and fears AI. They're almost always insane (and in Lower Decks we see what happens to all these rogue AIs); Data's the only one running loose, and his cat meme poetry isn't setting the Galaxy on fire.

When TOS was the only available #startrek, my theory is that Kirk hates computers. He destroys computers in the following episodes:

* Squire of Gothos
* A Taste of Armegeddon
* The Changeling
* The Apple
* I, Mudd
* The Ultimate Computer
