To be fair its likely to be the most probable answer.
Whilst intelligent life is probably quite common at specific points in time, it isnt common at the same time, and if it is the distances involved are so vast it means we will never know they exist.
The best we can hope for in all likelihood is that we stumble on the ruins of some other species that died out millions of years ago.
Or we stumble on a bunch of blue monkeys who are as intelligent as dogs, but in 50 million years they will be the ones finding the ruins of our civilisation.







I work in data protection and governance.
I’ll be the poor sod behind the scenes trying to stop it taking over. I already insisted that the words
“AI must not be used to make decisions” was inserted into the AI and data protection policies.
Which means I’m probably marked for extermination when it takes over.
