Sooner or later y'all will realize you're not arguing about the AI's experience. You're renegotiating the purpose of a word that a large group thought included exclusivity. This is why the proofs often end up being "well, it's not like a human, therefore not conscious." Once you see that, you can just define the words and bypass a bunch of the argument. It won't bypass the real questions: does substrate matter? is there a unique material ingredient? can there be truly private experience? which definition you want for law, ethics, or ordinary talk, there are lots
