Plausibly based on what? The computer from Star Trek wasn't real. It was Majel Barrett talking into a microphone. You can no more extrapolate any real world computer architecture from that than you can determine amphibian evolution from Kermit the Frog.

It's a thing you can talk to that does stuff for you. What other "architecture" do you need to know?

Fair enough. Your logic is unassailable. There is literally no difference between fiction and reality and no need to understand anything beyond "LLM talk therefore Star Trek real."

Literally not what the comment you were replying to was saying even remotely, but ok.

Right. Feel free to extrapolate a reading like "I think LLM tech and a century of tinkering could achieve computer performance similar to what it appears the entirely fictional, voiced by Majel Barrett, Star Trek computers has".

But that doesn't mean anything. "Similar to" is vague enough that it could include video game NPC dialogue.
