I think intuition 1 would be correct by definition, since colloquial meaning of the word “conscious” is close to “having the same introspective experience as me”. With “experience” roughly being “information reaching the story-building module of the brain”
I think it goes like this.
Intuition 1: I know I’m conscious
Intuition 2: This thing seems to behave like me
Conclusion: This thing is probably conscious
You’re right that intuition 2 could come from a pretty simple detector. But that doesn’t say much about where intuition 1 comes from.
