Well, it is simpler to admit the p-zombies are conscious.
But then you can't select your branch, because you end up in all of them!
Yes. That's the point. It makes the outcome non determinable. That's
the FPI.

The persons in the different branches are not the same persons and
neither of them is the same as the original. You only exist at each
instant of time, a moment later who exists is no longer the orignal
you. In case there is no slitting, you can reconstruct the original
from the new as the inverse time evolution will reconver the original
person. When there has been a splitting into dofferent branches, you
need all the branches to recover the original person.
