I’ve been perusing the technical schematics of the Enterprise and I noticed something odd.
There’s no bathrooms.
When you think about it, the replicators need some kind of material to make food out of.
Put it together…
The tea earl grey is POOPIES!!!
How about just “tea” and the computer figures out the rest
I could see saving presets, but having the computer assume would be like when you search for something online and it returns a bunch of results that are ALMOST what you want.
Maybe if you just say “Tea” the most common result is a T-shirt or a T pipe. It feels a lot like adding “buy” to a search to clarify you want to purchase something instead of researching it.
Having the computer intuitively know what you want when you request something would require a perfect understanding of your mind and how it operates. Now do that for every single person who may use the device. Yikes!
Yup, just tell it that whenever he asks for tea, he wants hot Earl Grey. Maybe he liked saying the whole thing every time.
The way he says it makes perfect sense to me from a programmer point of view.
First, type of drink Second, subtype Third, whether its hot or cold
Although technically, you wouldn’t have a cold earl grey tea, but still. It makes sense.
But people can ask the replicator for an item any old way and it seems to work fine.
Yeah but did replicators work the same way when Picard was a young lad having his first cup of Earl Grey?
Turns out the replicator is based on Stable Diffusion.
