Nagel and Chalmers all seem to think it is a strong argument. Kirk used to think it was but since then has gone about Pi radians on that. My impression is that Block also sees it as a strong argument but I haven’t actually read anything by Block. That’s the impression I get from seeing Block mentioned in passing.
Yeah, that wording may be too strong, although the impression I get certainly is that Kirk was convinced it was a slam dunk for quite some time. Kirk’s book “Zombies and Consciousness” (which I’ve only read parts of) seems to describe him as having once considered to be pretty close to a slamdunk. But yeah, my wording was probably too strong.

Thinking it’s a strong argument is, of course, still a long way from thinking it’s a “slam dunk” (nobody that I’m aware of thinks that).
