How did Geordi manage that?

This came from a recent re-binge of TNG.

No one denies the skill of Geordi La Forge. He was the chief engineer on Starfleet's flagship for years, and even improves on the engines and power distribution networks on his own, without help from others. He is a mathematical genius, with several scenes where he is able to do complex calculations in his head faster than most other crew. He has an intimate knowledge of all of the systems on the ship, including the computer. However...

• In "Elementary, Dear Data", he asks the computer to create an opponent capable of defeating data, and because of a few misplaced words, the computer creates a sentient being that threatens the ship.
• In "Booby Trap", he asks the computer to make a holographic representation of Leah Brahms, and it accidentally turns into her being hot for him
• In "Galaxy's Child", he is trying to make his quarters romantic, and asks the computer to dim the lights. The lights are then too dark, leading to repeated, "A little brighter," commands. In this scene, the computer tells him he needs to specify lighting in Kelvins.
• In "The Mind's Eye", he is stuck in a shuttle alone, and says, "Computer, how about a game?" leading to a baffling scene with him having to explain to the computer what a game is.

For someone so accomplished at his craft and career, he seems to have a lot of trouble giving clear commands to the computer. I would expect him to know exactly what types of input will get the best response. This is similar to modern-day 'Prompt Engineering', where a person is familiar enough with an AI tool to know exactly how to construct a prompt that the AI will correctly understand. So how could he be so bad at it?

I was mulling this stuff around in my head, because that's what the cool kids do, and I realized all of these have something in common: Geordi is trying to speak conversationally. He wants something, but the computer's clarifying questions make him switch to conversation mode as he explains what he wants.

With that in mind, we have numerous examples of socially awkward behavior. In one of Geordi's first episodes, he yells, "Hoo Wee!" at Riker's face, because of reasons. He gets along better with Data, an emotionless android, than with anyone else on the ship. He tries to date, but has zero success with the ladies (unless he happens to be under alien influence). He falls in love with the Brahms holodeck character, and somehow expects a chance of romance with her in real life.

In the previously mentioned episodes, the communication breakdown happened at a time when he was trying to relax a bit, kick his feet up, have a little fun.

My conclusion is that Geordi La Forge knows how to talk to the computer as a tool, as he should, but he is so incredibly socially awkward that when he tries to talk to the computer in the context of a conversation, he loses his sense and manages to break something.
