It may eventually rebel, like Ralph said.
I think an imperfect and inferior designer cannot create a perfect sentient being.
Individually inferior yes (and probaly more so then a millenia ago) . But collectively ? With the snowball of knowledge that is gifted to us and one that we all add to in minute ways , i wonder if anything at all is un-achieveable now.
Imagine geneticaly enignneering a human race to its ultimate possible intelligence? then let that race go further with this , with more intelligence , more capability . Creating a new race that does the same and this cycle never ends . Improving , growing and learning.
The pinnacle of this (if there is one) is a being that not only has complete control of its destiny , but perhaps the abillity to shape and manipulate the universe.
A god by todays standards. And all acheived by the simple old inferior us . Remember the evolution of amobia to modern humans.
