It is very relevant to keep analyzing and keep trying to get any other answer to this question, because while "appearing like us in every other way, they also experience like us" applies to other humans, as soon as we want to talk about the consciousness (or lack of it) of other actors, this argument can not be applied and we would very much like to get to any other criteria of consciousness which could be applicable to arbitrary non-human agents.

Even if we axiomatically assume that everyone else is not a p-zombie, trying to find any evidence towards your/mine consciousness other than that axiom is helpful as a candidate for such criteria which can be tested and validated.
