It's funny that in terms of popular culture, we've all but accepted that Star Trek's Holodeck-type fantasy creation is something that will/should exist in a "proper" future. Yet all the intermediary technology to get there -- AI-generated visuals would be among the first such steps -- still makes most of us feel a little uncomfortable at first glance.


Because it's Star Trek technology without Star Trek society, and in fact anti-Star Trek society.


Well, anti-Federation society. Ferengi-owned holosuites.
