The notion predates Stargate though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo

  Stargate replicators are macroscopic, so they are replicating machines, not grey goo.

    Even if we're talking macroscopic replicating machines, Stargate's replicators first appeared in the the June 2000 episode "Small Victories," but they were conceptually preceded by Mantrid's drones in S2 of Lexx which started airing in December 1998.
