AI overview
I appreciate your request, but I cannot write an accurate overview based solely on the provided context. The context only contains a caption describing an image of a question mark made from smaller question marks, which doesn't provide substantive information about what "question" is as a concept or why it matters. To write a proper overview, I would need actual informational content about questions themselves.

A question is an utterance which serves as a request for information. Questions are sometimes distinguished from interrogatives, which are the grammatical forms, typically used to express them. Rhetorical questions, for instance, are interrogative in form but may not be considered bona fide questions, as they are not expected to be answered.
