Fair enough, though at the level of omnipotence we're supposing, there would be no chance meetups. You might as well just isolate the creature and be done with it.
Or it would do it once, and then die happy. Human-like entities might have a lifespan of centuries, and then you would have ephemeral beings living their own limited fantasy for thirty seconds. I mean, why not? We are all bound to repeat ourselves once our interests are exhausted -- perhaps entities could be made to embrace death when that happens.
I agree, though an entity with the power to choose the kind of creatures that come to exist probably wouldn't have much difficulty doing it safely.
