How would consciousness present an evolutionary advantage? Wouldn’t a non-conscious agent with the same behaviour be just as fit?
So it seems to me that consciousness is more likely an emergent property of certain kinds of computation.

A complex organism needs to be 'aware' of its actions and the outcome of those actions versus the actions of 'non-self'. When you start internally modeling the complex behavior of self versus others it starts looking a lot like consciousness.

This is another attempt to sidestep the "hard problem" of consciousness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie
