I think he had a very good point. The Geth Consensus and the Ex Machina Cluster are both basically very large information sharing networks. The only difference is the manner it is being used.

Geth are entirely software and mostly inhabit their network. The Geth you meet ingame are not the actual Geth, but merely mechanical plattforms jointly commanded by around 100 Geth programs each (stated by Legion in ME2)

Ex Machina are sentient machines that are bound to their physical body, so they are unable to use their network in the manner the Geth do. Instead they use it in a very similar manner we are using the internet, except in a FAR more efficient manner.
