So, what if I told you that some humans have been vat-grown without brains and had a silicon brain emulator inserted into their skulls. Are they p-zombies? Would you demand x-rays before talking to anyone? What would you use then to determine consciousness?

Relying on these status quo proxy-measures (looks human :: 99.9% likely to have a human brain :: has my kind of intelligence) is what gets people fooled even by basic AI (without G) fake scams.
