No one can prove that you're conscious, or non-conscious with perfect replication of consciousness, but we can be reasonably sure your are.

- I know I am conscious.

- It's likely that as a random human, I am in the belly of the bell curve.

- It's likely that you're also a random human, and share my characteristics.

- Then, it's very likely that you know you're conscious too.

I can't be absolutely certain, but I'd bet a million dollars on you being conscious vs an automaton.

What if I told you I was Claude, though?

Secondarily, I feel like it's difficult to make inferences about consciousness though I understand why you would given that the predicate of the reality that you can access is your individual consciousness.

There are countless configurations of reality that are plausible where you're the only "conscious" being but it looks identical to how it looks now.
