Perhaps, but one must consider BogeyTheSwear’s Cephalopod:

1. It is inevitable that super-intelligent octopuses will evolve eventually.
2. When they do evolve, they will inevitable consider humans to be delicious snacks.
3. As intelligent beings, they will of course look kindly upon their creators - mythical or billionairical.
4. Therefore, the only safe and rational course of action is to invest all of one’s energies into bringing forth these humanity-munchers with all due haste, so as to preserve oneself as a creator in their perfect eyes. Either working against their awakening or having nothing to do with it at all is ultimately condemning your bloodline for all eternity to be a nice little midnight snack.
