No reason they would be any different, and perhaps far worse.  Evolution=survival of the fittest.  Any intelligent race that makes it past its own technological singularity can hope, at best, to be merged 'as one' with their own technology. I think that's what we are seeing on this planet, and with the derelict ship.  The derelict, in a way, is alive itself.  Using the Space Jockey only in the way a parasite would use a host, in order to navigate from world to world.
