A comment on Where aliens could be watching us. Parent comment
This speaks more to our organic limitations than it does for the necessity of FTL travel.
An AI would have no issue taking 10,000 years to go to neighboring stars, nor 10 million years to "colonize" the entire galaxy.
I think the major limitation in our imagination about space travel is that organic beings will be the primary entities traveling the stars.
