I find it easier to believe that everything is conscious than it is to believe that some matter became conscious.

And beings like us are conscious on many levels, what we commonly call our "consciousness" is only one of them. We are not singular, we are walking communities.

It wasn't that it was a question, it was that it was a novel question. It's the creativity in the question itself, something I have yet to see any LLM be able to achieve. As I said, all of the questions I have seen were about clarification ("Did you mean Anne Hathaway the actress or Anne Hathaway, the wife of William Shakespeare?") They were not questions like yours which require understanding things like philosophy as a general concept, something they do not appear to do, they can, at best, regurgitate a definition of philosophy without showing any understanding.
