Re the OP: You said that:

It does still allow for a definition of consciousness as any system in which there is a certain level of difficulty in erasing information to the point of reverting a wave function. Anything with a difficulty level above a certain threshold is conscious and anything below is not. Finding that threshold might be hard and might exclude or include somethings that are problematic.

And also that:

In either case instead of subjecting an AI to a Turing test you could instead incorporate it into a delayed choice quantum eraser experiment and then delete all its memory before anyone looks at it or the experimental data. If the interference reappears your AI is not conscious if it doesn't then it is conscious.

Maybe I'm missing it, but what sets the threshold of difficulty to determine conciousness above the difficulty of erasing an AI's memory, and below the difficulty of erasing a human's memory?
