Are you into Ferengi? ;-)

No, we would instead make interspecies pornography of humans boning the aliens and further diminish our status in their eyes. Dommy mommies scoffing at the entire planet. It would be a diplomatic catastrophe.
Just send them all the alien movies where humans win, call them documentaries and watch them run.
No we’d start pretending we’re even less sophisticated.
Hey! I’m flying my space ship ova’ere!

Doubtful but I bet a lot of people would start saying paintings don’t really exist.

barbarians

For your question, would we be pretending, it is the same.
For the aliens, barbarian is considered predominantly rasicst people. So most the world is considered barbarians.
