Except of course you're made of the actual universe, not separate from it and all of the universe appears only in a shared experience which we seem to refer to as consciousness which you experience directly.
If we humans never existed, what we refer to as the universe, our very shared experience and interpretation of it may not have even happened?
So I think when people say things like "oh we're not special", you might actually receive push back for other reasons besides the fact people have a large ego. Maybe it's because it seems like a kind of unwise suggestion given how little we know about actual experience and what it means to conscious.
Let's say a computer, or quantum computer, or whatever became conscious, would it also not be special? I mean it's a totally subjective statement to make?
