But all organisms “get out of bed and get something to eat”, yet we don’t pretend that bacteria have consciousness. If you go down this road you’ll have to decide if apes, dogs, crocodiles, sharks and ants have consciousness and make arbitrary cut-off somewhere along this path.

Bacteria do both, like humans. Some AI agents also do both - evolution and learning, such as AlphaGo, just that its environment is a Go board.
