It's not so much that we're boring, it's that we're so far away and not trivial to send mass and energy towards.

I think that a sufficiently advanced civilization that could come over for a visit wouldn't want to.

I also think a sufficiently advanced civilization with the curiosity and desire to learn about us could do so via probes and we'd never know they visited us.

Surely if intelligent life is rare, they’re all of interest
