Thats some silly intellectualism, people are conscious and machines aren’t. We don’t need precise definitions or scientific rigor to know things.
Prove it.

You "know" because of empathy. You're a human, you're conscious, therefore other humans are probably conscious too. The truth is for all you know they could be soulless golems, you just choose to believe otherwise. It's a spiritual belief.
Yes. Thats part of human reality. Denying it is counterproductive at best.
