As long as they are less intelligent than us, they probably won't spiral out of control. The real risk is that they get substantially smarter than us. Gorillas can't control us, because we are smarter. We don't even actively dislike them, but they are nonetheless threatened with extinction. We do not want to be in the role of the gorillas.

I have a feeling a gorilla wouldn’t pwn itself this hard, but who knows.
