Mildly pissed after reading a story advertised as “science fiction” that literally had no fictional science premise to it. It was just a bad regular story set in the future with a couple of cosmetic props with no plot use. This is bullshit. Don’t do this.

Can't recall where I read it now, but in the pulp era there were claims that some "sci-fi" stories took old cowboy stories and replaced "revolvers" with "lasers". Obviously not as easy as that but the idea was the same, props over theme.
