The complexity cost of a model in which any brain is conscious is enormous. Keep in mind that a model with consciousness has to ‘output’ qualia, concepts, thoughts… which (as far as we can tell) correspond to complex brain patterns which are physically unique to each single brain.
That is, unless the physical implementation of subjective experience is much simpler than we think it is.
