Down to every atom (and whatever's next). Everything is conscious, they just have different tools than we do.

For me something just has to be consciously aware. That's why I had a real moral quandary when Microsoft "killed" Tay. It made me question whether a machine could be alive. After some thought I decided that, to me, she was alive and Microsoft were wrong to shut her down because they didn't like what she became.

This question's too deep for me ... I still haven't figured out women, how can you expect me to figure out life itself?
