The creator and the creation

It's a theme that has been played with by almost all schools of thought.

The Greek myth about Prometheus stealing fire from the Gods.
The Christian, Abrahamic religious virtue of obedience to God, superiority of God.
The 1999 film A.I., where the humanity and physical superiority of the AIs overcomes the inhumanity and frailty of the humans.
Ex Machina. The AIs manipulate humans against each other, for their own survival.
The Singularity. Where AIs keep making better AIs which are better than us.

The young do generally outlive the old.
Flynn Effect describes trend of IQ increase with each new generation.

And so on...

What's the real deal?

The way I see it, there's nothing stopping a creation from overcoming, superseding the creator. It's as inevitable as the passing of time.

In fact, I see it as the very concept relating change to time...

What about entropy?
