Those are two different things. An intelligent agent brings you back something from the internet. I mean except for very nefarious purposes. I could have a slave in a coma who donates organs to me or something like that. Sexual reproduction has many evolutionary advantages in terms of the way we spread genes through the gene pool.
New combinations tend to lead to more resilient life forms.
Given the number of disease threats we're currently facing from mad cow to AIDS, I think it's probably wise to mix genes with one another. Maybe there's something going on in business that makes people think that one thing has to replace another. It's the sort of free market competition mindset that leads people to think that this thing comes, so now it's going to replace that. Napster comes so that replaces records. It generally doesn't work like that.
