Assuming that is true and assuming that you yourself are not a
philosophical zombie, how do you suppose random mutation and
natural selection manage to produce you?
It couldn't, which supports the idea that philosophical zombies
are impossible, or equivalently that phenomenal consciousness
reduces to the behavioural manifestations of consciousness, such
as awareness of self and environment.
In fasct, it supports the idea that philosophical zombies could not be
produced by natural (Darwinian) selection. But it say nothing about
the possibility that such beings could be produced artificially; eg.
via AI.

Right, that "consicousness" would be a recorder that we would include so
we could review any misbehavior that arose, like the self-driving car
that hit the bicyclist had a record of it.
