Lois McMaster Bujold does it very well, in her Vorkosigan-saga books, where she touches upon cultural attitudes to sex.
But it seems like a kind of superficial gimmick. And most SF doesn't deliver any culture at all - art, music, religion, politics, etc - unless it directly relates to the plot.
What we need is someone who will do for SF what Tolkien did for fantasy.

An actual AI is beyond the possibility of humans to create
That's an open question, but we certainly aren't going to create it by running current applications on ever-faster computers. The singularity is an ignorant fantasy.

In China a lot of dinosaur fossils are sold in medicine shops. For some reason most Chinese still believe eating them cures disease and give you manly vigor.
Whereas in fact manly vigor comes from driving a dinosaur-sized truck that guzzles fossil fuel.
something from nothing, or at least the physical from the non-physical. Lets all just admit that there is a single Holy God, who created the physical universe as we know it. He has always, and will always exist in spirit (non physical). For reasons unknowable to us He decided to create the physical universe - logically there is no other possibility.
Invoking an uncaused god to "explain" an uncaused universe doesn't do anything except add a middle man, and ultimately leaves *more* unexplained than before.
