Cavil's cynicism comes from the fact he saw himself as a superior entity while having the humanoid body that limited him. In one of his memorable lines he says that he "could do so much more" and blames the Final Five for what he is, what they give him because they thought that's what "God" wanted.
If anything, I think Clarice Willow should be one to blame of setting everything off - at least that is directly told at the end of Apotheosis episode of Caprica.
We're still far away of the tripping point where AI gains self-awareness and even further from it demanding recognition as another form of life and intelligence. Right now it's all generated fun based on algorithms and limitations set by operators. I'm more concern about people relying on this technology too much than fact it might become "a problem".

- akiselev 4y agoI think that explains that visceral self hatred he carries around and how much he despises the final five but not his hateful contempt for humans. The rebel Cylon models and grunts who turned against the rest of the collective at the end certainly didn't seem to carry around those kinds of feelings. I feel there's more Marvin the Paranoid Android to the story than we're getting. Maybe I'm just projecting :-)
