This crossed my mind, but then I thought about leela and how she took over a 13-planet computer network, and the denizens accepted that they would never regain control of the system... but then again, she never tried to leave did she?

Unlikely, since the Pfhor were unable to create advanced AI's of their own, instead merely copying tycho over and over.
