Well, I am arguing that no, it is not. And I don't see what makes qualia mysterious and different from raw sensor values.
"An organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism". I would argue that something that has a memory that can contain representations of its own internal states exhibits conscious mental states.
A recording is experience. Information you recall and inspect is experience. Experience of consciousness is recollection of mental states.
