I’m pretty sure the holodeck works on some kind of ai as well. I think that star trek taking place in a post scarcity future clears up a lot of problems with current gen ai.

im absolutely calling it that from now on
it's almost as if having the entirety of human art disposable at your fingertips that can make your dreams manifest as images might be positive thing, but the social structures and how it is used makes it literally toxic.
There's nothing toxic here. Nothing at all
yeah sure, and you can all up people and masturbate on the phone to them. Is that the fault of the telephone for existing?
Well yes, but as we get closer to machines that think more like us, we must be careful that we don't act like Commander Maddox. Current gen AI is incapable of revoking consent to be used by humans, and I'm concerned about this. If we continue on our current path, sooner or later we will end up as slavers, just as the Doctor claimed Voyager did.
The difference between ChatGPT and Computer (not into Star Trek enough to know what its actual name is) is that Computer doesn't pretend to be a person or have feelings, and it doesn't encourage harm to anyone. Computer's purpose is to serve its crew in a constructive manner, not to keep the user engaged at all costs.
Yeah, ChatGPT is a pedophile that abuses children for money.
no one in star fleet wants to replace sentient beings with AI. Even the ships very capable AI.

Also starfleet have had that level of computational complexity for 2 or 3 centuries and never actually managed to create a superintelligent AI that was a match for human pluck and ingenuity, so an AI takeover probably isn't a possibility in that Universe. (Same goes (I think) for all the millenia old Alien societies).
Actually, Samanthan Rutherford created an AI that fully took over the entire Federation for ten minutes and nearly killed everyone
