I think you are using the word "observation" to refer to consciousness. If this is true, then I do not deny that humans take in observations and process them.

However, I think the issue is that you have simply re-defined consciousness into something which would be unrecognizable to the philosopher. To that extent, I don't say you are wrong, but I will allege that you have not done enough to respond to the consciousness-realist's intuition that consciousness is different from physical properties. Let me explain:

If qualia are just observations, then it seems obvious that Mary is not missing any information in her room, since she can perfectly well understand and model the process by which people receive color observations.

Likewise, if qualia are merely observations, then the Zombie argument amounts to saying that p-Zombies are beings which can't observe anything. This seems patently absurd to me, and doesn't seem like it's what Chalmers meant at all when he came up with the thought experiment.

Likewise, if we were to ask, "Is a bat conscious?" then the answer would be a vacuous "yes" under your view, since they have echolocaters which take in observations and process information.

In this view even my computer is conscious since it has a camera on it. For this reason, I suggest we are talking about two different things.
