Sometimes, Iam not sure there is intelligent life here on Earth!

Maybe?

Bit of a stretch calling humanity intelligent.

A universe which contains intelligence in one place is certainly more than capable of containing it somewhere else, and in fact is more likely to do so than not. (It's really not that extraordinary a claim.)

The simple answer to the question "then where are the aliens?" is "Do you have any idea of how immense the Universe is? Do you understand that we've barely looked at 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of it— and that's probably being too generous an assessment?"

Of course "they" are out there. That doesn't mean "they" have ever been here, or ever will be here, or that we ourselves will ever be there where "they" are.
For all we know, the Universe is peppered with intelligent life— even our own galaxy. But ne'er the multitudes shall meet.

It isn't forced to be in our galaxy though, other galaxies are available.

There will be soon (if not already). I'm talking AI.

Sure – be a welcome change

Maybe.
