I would expect the creator to be unaware of our existence at all, much less the fact that we are self-aware. That's if the creator even realises they created all this in the first place, and it isn't an accidental side-effect of some process or other in its own reality.

ever watch start trek? TOS? Or even TNG or really any of it. What about star wars?
Even notice how everyone for the most part are human-ish/Based on two arms torso, two legs, one head and a pair of hands and feet?
Ever notice how when we imagine a robot it basically looks like us as well?
Albeit imaginary, our natural inclination is to 'create' things or beings we look like/can relate to. Star trek and even star wars is Humanity's version of a created universe, and even so it is populated with human like creatures despite darwins aversion to the likelihood of a galaxy fill with human type beings.
So then why oh why is it so implausible in your great 'thinker' that God would not also do the same?
Because it is more plausible to know we did exactly what you mentioned in the few lines before your last question. Storytelling is something that us Humans have been doing for a long time. Every deity and their mythology has been created by man. There is no reason for you to believe yours is any different.
