P-zombies are supposed to be physically identical to humans. They’re problematic because they lack consciousness, yet mysteriously talk about it anyway — among other reasons.

Advanced AI is definitely not physically identical to humans, and there’s a well understood reason why they might talk about consciousness despite lacking it which doesn’t apply to p-zombies.

I'm not sure that being physically identical to humans is a necessary characteristic of a p-zombie for anything important. If you can produce an ai which _acts in every observable way as if it were conscious_ without any actual consciousness that would indicate that p-zombies are possible. The current generations of AI don't qualify, but I can see how to get there from here.

It’s part of the definition. Your AI is an interesting thought experiment, but it isn’t a p-zombie.
