Why does Super Earth not seem to have androids/AI/automated war machines etc.?

Despite having faster than light travel, orbital lasers, railcanons, wildly advanced medical technology (whatever is going on with stims), and the ability to at least jerry rig alien technology (dark fluid etc) there seems to be a glaring hole in the futuristic tech of Super Earth. Where is the automation? The artificial intelligence? Why send millions of squishy humans to do what robots could do? Is there some Dune-like reason in the lore for avoiding this concept that I'm not aware of?
