Why do you assume that real intelligence is not just heavily editorialized when it's in humans? In fact I'm pretty sure it is. If you mean that neural networks are flawed things, not "perfect" intelligence like the Star Trek computer, then yeah, that's pretty obvious. Probably Star Trek assumed that perfect rule-based AIs, like IBM tried to build in the 1960s and 1970s were going to really work at some point, but keep having their "typical" fraud (such as getting totally stuck on a very regular basis for very dumb reasons)
