I don't care for eating them either. I imagine them someday becoming the dominant species and eating us in return.

I don't fear that at all. The males die after mating and the females starve to death on their egg brood. So there is no inter-generational knowledge transfer.
They would revert back to natural tool users with each succeeding generation. As an order, they wouldn't even be able to dominate house cats.
