I think computers are already "smarter" than people but only in very specific things. Until robotics are dramatically improved i don't think we need to worry about them taking over for a long time.

I agree.
The term "smart" and "intelligent" is a misleading one. Computers are input and output machines, able to be fed with high amounts of data and processing them real quick through calculation (quantities), and then putting them out to the human user. A human is an organism and cannot be "fed" data, he takes up information and interprets them.
I don't think we ever have to worry about it, for the comparison made between a fleshy organic entity and a hardware mechanical and electronically produced device need not to deserve so much meaning. It's interesting to think about it but to make it an oracle or a cult, is, in my eyes, an overestimation.
Where it becomes questionable is, when people believe in an infallibility of computational predictions, in particular human behavior.
