There’s just no benefit to assuming consciousness doesn’t arise from information processing in the brain.
Nor is there an explanation of how it (in the HP sense)_ does arise. It’s still true that..
Make the two similar enough, and you’re going to get all of the same properties.
...but it’s a different line of reasoning. Everyone expects a quark-by-quark duplicate to be conscious, but that’s not the interesting case of “artificial consciousness”.

It’s not, I agree. But then the question becomes not whether it’s possible but how. Which IMO is a very worthwhile question.
