Well, same for humans, there is no way we are this stupid. Just a bunch of natural algorithms and instincts.
(Also you saying that bacteria are "conscious"? What does that even mean? We all make active decisions all the time.)
But how do you know that anyone except yourself can suffer or 'be aware'?
If fungi can make decisions based on data, isn't that what we do with neurons?
