I wouldn't.
We are the smartest form of life ever to exist on this planet and it's took an awful long time of life existing for us to show up and even develop into a species that is doing anything other than rolling around in the dirt. Only in the past 4000 years or so has humanity started to monopolise the planet, yet life has existed for billions of years.
I agree, life elsewhere is almost a certainty. The chances of that life being on our intellectual level or above, sadly nowhere near as high.
I'm still hopeful we will one day join a galactic society and live out star trek though.
I would say there is 100% chance there is life smarter than us.
They simply evolved earlier than us. And became smarter earlier than us.
