Maybe he was talking about "Catspaw"?

Kirk Talks a Computer to Death?

Would Rayna or Andrea count?At least he didn't talk a computer into bed, although he did have a crack with Andrea... There is a hilarious episode of Futurama that does a fantastic homage to TOS where Bender seduces a Femputer. Classic line: Death - by snoo snoo!

I was forgetting Rayna. Didn't they both end up dead though due to the pesky android emotions stoked up by Kirk. I think we should count them alongside the androids in I, Mudd, who wisely shut down their brains when the crew started Irish dancing. I wish I could do the the same...
There is also Ruth, but that's more wishing one into bed I suppose.Would Rayna or Andrea count?At least he didn't talk a computer into bed, although he did have a crack with Andrea...

Yeah, Landru, Nomad and M5 are the main three. Good catches with Rayna and Mudd's androids although I think it was unintended in Rayna's case. The same with Andrea but I thought it was Korby's hand that pulled the trigger on the laser gun that Andrea was holding. Vaal and Losira didn't listen well and Kirk ended up having to have them phasered.

Pussy licking can be mentioned up to six times in one 90 minute film and still get a PG-13 rating. It's totally true. You can look it up and everything. You just can't mention dingalings, hoo-hoos, or weiners.
*sigh* It's still crude and unnecessary. But I suppose I'm in the minority that prefers at least a modest standard of taste for these threads, so I'll just bow out of this one.
^ For whatever it's worth CoveTom , I agrees with ya. 
Any computer worth a damned would dismiss any illogical statement or premise put to it, rather than pursuing to understand it without end until it self-destructs. That's why the whole Norman android defeat is so silly... but then, it's a lighthearted episode anyway, not to be taken seriously. 
Nomad previously corrected imperfections in machines by improving them instead of destroying them. It certainly did this with the warp engines. Using that same logic, it could have simply corrected the misunderstanding about Kirk, attributing it to damaged records beyond its control. One could say that Kirk's pressing upon Nomad's prime function to sterilize imperfection distracted it from taking a more constructive tact... but again, giving how sophisticated Nomad was... eh.
M5 misinterpreted a battle drill exercise as the real thing. When it was finally made aware that it was killing innocent people due to a flawed understanding, it decided to destroy itself... yet, it would do so by taking more innocent lives, which is illogical. The proper course of action would be a self induced short out (overloading some internal components), done after relinquishing control of the vessel. But then, Daystrom's mental engrams were imprinted upon the computer, so it did have some subjective issues.
Landru didn't need to self destruct. It was made aware that it was killing off "the body" slowly. It could simply have relinquished its control over the people and then serve as a reference data system for the citizens. Its control capabilities could have been curtailed back, but still used as a means to neutralize people in the act of committing a crime. Self destruction meant a significant loss of technology for the people. Spock himself indicated how sophisticated Landru was. Certainly when presented with how Landru's actions were not helping the body, it could have said "I have misinterpreted the original will of Landru. I will correct this flaw. Thank you, gentlemen." But then, it wouldn't have been as entertaining an ending... no Kirk hero moment.

What? I was referring to M'Ress.
