That is exactly correct.

I would only add that we attribute consciousness to our fellow humans, because we perceive them to be creatures like us from what we can observe about their physical bodies and behaviors being similar to ours.

With AI, it is much less intuitive to assume creations we know to have arise from very different origins than ourselves have the same kind of interior experiences we do. Even if the surface behavior is the same.
