The problem with your argument is the idea that there is this special thing called "consciousness" that humans have and AI "doesn't".
Philosophers, scientists, thinkers have been trying to define "consciousness" for 100+ years at this point and no one has managed to either a) define it, or b) find ways to test for it.
Saying we have "consciousness" and AI "doesn't" is like saying we have a soul, a ghost in the machine, and AI doesn't. Do we really have a ghost in the machine? Or are we just really a big deterministic machine that we just don't fully understand yet, rather like AI.
So before you assert that we are "conscious", you should first define what you mean by that term and how we test for it conclusively.
Before you assert nobody has defined consciousness you should maybe consult the dictionary?
