Already there's programs that produce programs, select the best of a bunch
and even discover and fix their bugs.  So what, people have been learning
and replacing themselves for eons and now you're suggesting we no longer
do that naturally but let the computers have all the fun?

I can see it now, in 2050 the students finding even sex education too hard
for their media washed brains to pass, lament why do we have to learn sex
when medical labs can produce test tube babies?

Sex is obsolete, we have medical clinics,
they can do all that sex stuff for us. ;-)
