I can't be sure that other people feel in the same way that I do. I assume they do because they act like it and so I go along with it.

If I can't be 100% sure that people feel in the same way that I do, then asking that same question for robots is totally pointless.

I'm pretty sure your rationale is more complex than that, you probably also account for things like "how similar are they to me?". After all, you wouldn't believe a video game character if they told you they were conscious, right?

I don't see how that at all follows.
