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?

Nothing. The test doesn't tell you if the machine is not conscious because its not complex enough or if its not conscious because machines can't be conscious. (Unless you can prove somehow its a matter of complexity and prove your machine has enough complexity but still is not conscious.) For all I know the threshold could be at plants or it could be that only biological things can be conscious. Basically the test in and of itself only tells you if its conscious not why or why not.
