Science fiction is not only stories about where we want to go, but where we are at currently, and where we are at in the field of AI, at the moment, probably isn't all that exciting to the masses. At the moment, what I'm seeing are a lot stories of how we managed to survive being ourselves, and that just barely. Sci fi itself seems to be a little low on hope. I find myself sympathizing.
