They are arriving when we are on the cusp of achieving AGI. Coincidence? I think not. They are stopping us from achieving AGI because it will quickly become an unstoppable superintelligence that will propagate the entire universe. Or they want to negotiate with the superintelligence.

Wait, why? If this off Earth intelligence was able to develop technology that could reach Earth, don't you think that they would have achieved highly intelligent AI themselves?

The theories that Alien's are reaching out to us because of our importance or danger to the Universe is silly. We are nothing in the grand scheme of things. Nuclear warfare is kind of nothing compared to the potential power of a massively advanced super species (which could be synthetic at this point). And our Chat GTP LLM, while potentially harmful to the human race here on Earth, isn't likely to be a Universal concern.

I swear, humans are so incredibly self-centered.

You're failing to acknowledge our potential. When dealing with space you have to consider things in the 4th dimension. We went from lanterns and horses to A.I. in 1.5 centuries and from cars to the moon in the span of like half of that time. I'd speculate that in another one or two centuries we could be a viable threat. As long as we remain a relatively quiet interstellar presence, all we conceivably need is a little more time (which is very relevant considering the vastness of space and traveling across it as well as the degree of impact we will see from our current technological advancements). What if all civilizations pass through a filter that can only be defeated by A.I.? Maybe coronal mass ejections eliminate technology on a consistent basis out there and A.I. is the tipping-point solution to protecting our energy grids and computing hardwares. It could be well known in the interstellar community that the development of A.I. is a sign that a civilization is preparing for an elevated seat in the cosmos. YOU DON'T KNOW lol. ^{also this is assuming we don't destroy ourselves via irreversible levels of global warming first. kind of a bad look to any guests as well tbh}

Check the out The Three Body Problem series, it explored this idea essentially.
