The "Sci-Fi Past" section is especially worth a read, as it goes beyond starfield. This is something we see a LOT in scifi these days - portrayals of a future that's more Jetsons-y than it is an accurate portrayal of a real future. The call out on robotic voices to denote AI is something that is indeed already solved... so why is the future taking a step back?

Would love to see more Sci-Fi not be lazy with this and try and create what the future will be, rather than fall back on what the future used to be.

Nobody believes in a future anymore. Modern scifi is actually nostalgia content about the past when we did believe in a future. Hence Jetsons-type stuff.

Perhaps it's a step back because game development started 10 years ago (I have no idea when they started)? They probably start with the story, so if it revolves around dumb robots...
