That is a rather hasty inference on your part. The passage is encouraging humans, not paperclips, to multiply.
One should not simply take a random passage from an ancient text and retroactively infuse it with self-serving meaning that violates the obvious historical and literary context.
Because that would be stupid -- not the kind of thing I'd expect humans to fall for.
You're right. Interpreting that text as meaning that God wants paperclips to multiply and have dominion over the earth is incredibly self-serving.
