Itd be cool if another species found it and interacted with it. Might be a bad thing to have that happen but it'd reaffirm something is out there.

How do you suggest that would happen? If they come over here to mess with it, why wouldn't they just move sliiiightly over to the side to come visit us? If they have detection capabilities to notice an insignificant speck of dust like the JWST in the vastness of space, they can also see our entire huge planet, and could've been "interacting" with us all along.

I imagine if a species detected it, they'd take the JWST to examine it before they did anything else. But, that is the nuance with extraterrestrial daydreaming, cause i agree with you.
