Are you trying to make my argument for me? Because that's my argument.
No I get the impression you really want to say qualia, but don't want the backlash.

What would the backlash be? Has “qualia” fallen out of favor among people who think being asleep == not being conscious? Frankly given that opening confusion I am surprised you’ve heard the word qualia.
Qualia is magical thinking. It implicitly assumes a Cartesian theater, and leads to infinite regress.

And yet here I am having continuous, direct interaction with subjective experience and yet I have zero evidence for a Cartesian theatre… simply claiming one implies the other is not the same as proving it.
> with subjective experience
So you claim. I can prompt an LLM to do the same.

Correct, you have no way to verify my claims, which is exactly my argument. Thanks!
It's like playing chess with a pigeon. My fault really.

Haha, indeed :)
I’ve said multiple times what a point of view is, I think you’re just too caught up in argumentation to read the text in front of you.
You agree that you have experiences, correct? Your ability to experience experiences is what it means to have a POV. The name of that characteristic is “consciousness.”
It is probably the case that some objects experience experiences (like you presumably do and I definitely do), and other objects do not.
