If you meant a scientific definition why do you keep mentioning philosophy?

An LLM tells me references such as Oxford Dictionary of Science probably include a definition of consciousness but I suppose that would be behind a pay wall so I can't verify it.

Of course you are demanding one that "scientists all agree on" which is an impossibly high bar so I don't think anyone is going to meet you there.

Because it is clear the comment claiming "AIs have no consciousness" did not mean that dictionary definition, which is exactly the issue.
