IMO any intelligent life form would be interested in us because despite us being lower forms of life they would be curious for the same reason we are curious of other lower forms of life. Intelligence goes hand in hand with curiosity.

I also think that it may be possible that no other intelligent life forms will ever be aware of us for 2 reasons:

1. Very very very very very very big universe. 2. very very very very very very rare intelligent life.

Too distant and too rare for there to ever be any contact. But if they could contact us they would be interested.
