a machine is made to fulfill what the creator can't do.
car is made coz humans cant run that fast
airplanes are made coz we cant fly
etc..

I know what you mean..."A computer is only as smart as it's user..." (Hence the dumb blonde jokes and silly tech calls concerning such)
When it comes to machines capable of learning, however, I do believe the time will come (and possibly soon) when machines will easily excel their creators. What happens next is yet to be determined.... Hopefully, they won't watch movies like Terminator or Matrix!

A machine can excel its creator of course... BUT the machine may never be able to excel itself. For those who say a machine cannot excel its creator, I have a few equations I need calculated and I need it done in ohhhh 1 second.
We as humans, in the future, will potentially be able create a machine smarter and more powerful than ourselves, but we are not capable of vastly improving our own design.
The beings we create will probably exterminate us and their advancement will halt, they will one day create another "lifeform" more advanced than themselves and the cycle will continue because they will not be capable of improving their own design.

Isn't that the whole purpose of computers?? To do things their creators couldn't possibly do? In fact, that is the purpose of most machines. Even a car.

Seeing how there's a ton of stories where just that happens (and the machine usually turns against the creator), then yes, I say it's very possible.

The Bible asks the same question, and the answer is simply no. How can we who have been created, who can not even create a blade of grass and cause it to grow (only plant the seed) say we can excel the One in whom created all things, not just the blade of grass. Humanism, placing man as God, is only for the one who is destitute of reasoning capabilities.

The first poster had it right.
Why create something if you can already do it better.
Eventually a machine (robot) will be created as a culmination of all advances leading to a creation "superior" to its creator.

Machines are made to be tools. There is not an accurate analogy, if you are wanting an analogy.

Perhaps not the same thing, but I hope my children excel past me.

You ask the question - and then reject the answer in advance.
If you stick around for a few more decades you'll be amazed.
