But they are still not as complex as the biological things that made them. At least - not yet. Maybe one day if computers and robots get complex enough they can get a snowball effect (the faster it goes the bigger it gets the faster it goes the bigger it gets, etc) and surpass us perhaps. I dunno.

Ah, that would be the so-called 'technological singularity': we design machines that can create other machines more intelligent than those we originally made. They in turn create still-further intelligent machines, and so on indefinitely. So the technological sophistication of our machines (and their progeny) increases exponentially.

Maybe then, their complexity will exceed our own.

And the universe will turn into Marmite.
