If mankind can create AI that is more intelligent than itself, is it possible that mankind's creator is less intelligent than itself? Could it be something we don't even consider to be sentient?

If humans ever create an artificial intelligence that is of greater intelligence than humankind, that would prove that it is possible for a thing to create another thing that is more intelligent than itself.

Would that mean it's possible or even likely that the creator of humankind could be of lesser intelligence than itself?

Could the creator of humankind be something we don't even think of as conscious, sentient or alive?

In 'Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion' David Hume brings up the idea that, if humans work on projects in groups often creating many failures projects, there may be the possibility that a group of creators did the same and we may live in one of the failed universes.

Daniel Dennett likes to bring up IBM's Deep Blue, the first computer that beat a chess grandmaster, as an example of a human creation being 'smarter' (in one area: chess) than any of its creators, none of whom would have been able to beat a chess master.
