Philosophical zombie

A philosophical zombie, often referred to as a "p-zombie," is a hypothetical being used in discussions of consciousness and the philosophy of mind. The concept describes a creature that is physically indistinguishable from a human being but lacks conscious experience, qualia, and subjective awareness. Essentially, a philosophical zombie would behave like a normal person—responding to stimuli, engaging in conversation, and performing actions—yet it would not have any internal experience or awareness of those actions.
