I'll just let you enjoy this weird idea that spacefaring Aliens, whom are looking for life outside of their domain, would worry about whether Earth offers the best tourism lol.

I just mean to suggest that if life from Galaxy A has the ability to get to our galaxy, I'm going to assume they have the ability to monitor us from afar.

Sure, if they are moving between whole galaxies, we're unlikely to be their first contact and yeah they may be monitoring us.
I am talking about another Alien civilization within our galaxy, within range to travel to Earth, that is making first contact.
If we're being visited by an Intergalactic Alien civilization, we're either about to become subjects of theirs, or worse.

Perhaps this probe was so old that the civilization that sent it is now exclusively AI and what we'll encounter will be AI or a combination of organic beings fused with AI. Pretty crazy thought.

What if the "Aliens" we encounter, end up being humans and it turns out humans are on many planets.
I rarely hear this notion, but if humanity was seeded on Earth, who is to say it wasn't seeded on dozens of other planets in our galaxy?

But they'd still be different from us because gravity and the elemental makeup aren't the same everywhere. Chances are that if they don't come find us and if we came across them there's a good chance we wouldn't even recognize them...they'd be that different from us.

You're assuming gravity would be wildly different, they could have been seeded on Earth-like planets.
They would not have different "elemental makeup", they'd be carbon-based human life forms in this hypothetical.

It's probably entirely possible that there's an exact carbon copy of Earth elsewhere.
One thing I've always wondered about is if other aliens are carbon based like us. We're carbon based, and we think life needs to be carbon based, but what if that isn't true elsewhere?

Yeah earthlike planets similar to our I definitely think you're spot on. I was thinking of terms of different type planets that weren't close to earth. But yeah, you're right.
By elemental make up I was talking about the planet and solar system...not the lifeforms themselves.

Yeah I've had the same thoughts.
Like carbon-based might often look like something we at least kinda recognize.
But who the **** knows what life might look like if it was based on some other common element.
Hell look at how much diversity there is in life on Earth from bacteria to humans.

Some Silicon based alien tries to get here, and thinks we're all mutants because we're carbon and that he'll be killed instantly.

I always ponder this like...if your a creationist how can you not believe in aliens look at the world around you the variety why would you think 1 and only 1 type of sentient being was created
