Correct, I haven't yet seen any evidence humans are nore than what you call pingpong balls. You are a bunch of ping pong balls. So if the inputs and outputs are same as a person, there is no way to know whether this so called consciousness exists or not. If you are being consistent, its equally impossible to say from outside if another "human" is "conscious" as it is for an ai or the piece of paper. If the inputs and outputs are same then I don't give a shit about meaningless ill defined terms like that.
