I think you're trying to degrade the entire school of philosophy down to your "philosophy 101" understanding and then shoving it where it doesn't fit in order to feel like this is all complicated.

Philosophy is a intrinsically human thing. It has to be. That is the whole point. There really is nothing else.

Plants feel and experience things too. But there's no philosophy of the plant experience from the point of view of the plant, because why would there be?

The fact that we have a pattern recognizing word generator print out the words "I am alive" does not lead to some broader philosophical point, except for hysteria and delusions, which probably fit more along sociology instead.
