I'm not convinced that computers couldn't do that.

To reach other solar systems may require trips of tens of thousands of
years.  Robot space probes could be programmed to grow human colonists
if and when they get to a habitable planet.

And even if computers couldn't do that, my point is that it's not
something someone is typically willing to pay someone to do.
