Why does Picard always have to specify temperature preference for his Earl Gray tea? Shouldn’t the super smart AI have learned his preference by now?

- dragonwriter 2y ago> Why does Picard always have to specify temperature preference for his Earl Gray tea? Completely OT, but, most likely, he doesn’t. Lots of people in the show direct with the replicators more fluidly; “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot” seems like a Picard quirk, possibly developed with more primitive food/beverage units than the replicators on the Enterprise-D.

- lttlrck 2y agoPerhaps he must be specific to override a hard, lawsuit proof, default that is too tepid for his tastes. Will there still be lawsuits in the post-scarcity world? Probably.
- pkaye 2y agoWell the one time he just said "Tea, Earl Grey" the computer assumed, "Tea, Earl Grey, luke warm".
- TeMPOraL 2y agoForce of habit? Most of Starfleet folks seem to not know how to use their replicators well anyway. For all the smarts they have, they use it like a mundane appliance they never bothered to read the manual for, miss 90% of its functionality, and then complain that replicated food tastes bad.
- cheeseomlit 2y agoIf anything he's not being specific enough https://i.redd.it/hluqexh3oqc91.jpg https://i.redd.it/hluqexh3oqc91.jpg
