Is it? A rock has a lot of atoms that can be a lot of states,
like 1e30. Maybe it has to do with connections and signals and
sensors and environment. Not IIT.
Also, a human brain has more IP-power than that of a chimp - its
language ability shows that.
And your computer has more arithmetical ability than you do.

If a rock has more information processing power than a brain, and if
consciousness is information processing (a lot of it) then why isn't a
rock conscious?
But a rock isn't conscious!
According to panpsychists (and maybe IIT) it is.
