Live is a massive, self replicating, and crazily efficient system designed to exist on the most common and diverse set of chemical reactions in the universe.

Machine life/machine intelligence can never stand up to regular life/regular intelligence. The interactions and chains within the human brain will likely be always more efficient and better than those of machines which are not specialized. These specialized machines, however, cannot survive to live in multiple environments, fight in many places, or be nearly as resilient as humans are.

We have our flaws, us humans do, but the sheer amazing complexity and efficiency of life will never be outnumbered by machines of silicone and metal. Carbon and hydrogen do a billion times better in any situation. If they weren't better than what we make computer from, we wouldn't be made of them.
