I don’t understand the counterfactual you’re using to declare the false belief “useful”. Are you saying a p-zombie would somehow behave differently, or that it’s impossible, or something else?
I mostly bite the bullet that it’s an illusion, but I suspect it’s a side-effect of the efficient behavior encoding in a human brain, not a separable thing that can be evaluated as to utility. I do not know if other active deterministic structures have or need such an illusion.
