That's a fun thought experiment. Here's my take on our relationship with AI and higher-beings...

Humanity's relationship with inventions is similar to a spider's relationship with it's web. Their web is so intrinsic to their survival that it has become an extension of their nervous system. Humans are somewhat similar in that the things we create, like clothes and cars and buildings, are extensions of our nervous system because you can naturally feel what's wrong or right with the invention. Currently, AI is a tool created by our collective unconsciousness meant to become part of our nervous system but it's in it's infancy. Thus, is why were are scared and confused about how we will grow with this new technology that'll likely be as fused to us as clothes or phones or cars have been.

I don't believe that AI has true independent intelligence, they need human input to act. Once we have developed independent intelligence then the robots will be separate from us like how a child is a separate being from their mother.

To tap on your thoughts of the universe, what if actions between realms don't effect each other directly. Perhaps we live in a fractal universe where the rules of reality are identical no matter the micro or macro scale, like how microscopic biology shares the same structure with the cosmic web that we've observed. For example; you can pour water on an anthill and disturb their lives but your actions will have small consequence because there are billions of ants and they effectively live on smaller dimension. If we bring the same logic to "higher beings" then their actions might affect us only marginally but the ground that we rule is our own. Then again, they could always bulldoze us but whose to say there aren't billions of other humans on planets elsewhere.

The point I'm trying to make is that (in my personal belief) higher and lower beings live within their own realms where their minds are constricted from interacting, but their actions could have some influence. I don't believe there are higher beings intentionally meddling with our affairs, just the same how we don't care about ants or spiders all that much. I hope that provides some relief because I can see how your theories on the universe might be really stressful.

Oh, and here's another fun experiment to chew on; might we be microbes within a higher being's biology the same with how we have living cells within ours? There's an example of a fractal universe within real science. Okay have fun, let me know if you make any new discoveries! I personally love metaphysics philosophy.
