Humans turning into robots

Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

You actually want to go for micromachines, not true nanoscale machines... but they would still rely on nanoscale engineering. Like life does. Yeah, life has problems. But that's where the design and stuff comes in. My point is that there's already an existing basis, far more advantageous to use that than waste time building your own.

They could move faster, would be more durable, would be able to transport more, receive more complicated instructions, be smaller... the list goes on. Once you've got smaller than life's workings, what then? Mechanical nanomachines can go where life fears to tread.
