Yeah, if we de-meme it and really want to define it, the difference is Star Trek is a post-scarcity world, so generative AI building things doesn’t take anything away from human artists - it doesn’t affect their livelihoods because their livelihoods are guaranteed.
We very nearly live in a post scarcity world too. Just all our resources and labor are funneled into the hands of a few wealthy billionaires.
Star Trek is very Utopian. If it operated anything like our dystopian world it would have a lot of scarcity. For instance there is only one earth in Star Trek.
In our timeline it is most billionaires goal to own the whole planet. Then after that 2 planets then hundreds of planets then 1000s of galaxies.
