None of that is obvious. It’s obvious that you would make the same reports, and that is all. If consciousness depends on real causality, or unsimulated physics, then it could fade out, *and you could notice that” , in the way you can notice drowsiness.
Whenever I notice something, there are probably some neurons in me doing this noticing activity, but in this thought experiment every neuron outputs the exact same signals.
I wouldn’t just make the same reports to other people, but each of my brain areas (or individual neurons) will make the same report to every other brain area.

It’s not obvious but I think it’s probably true.
