I would like to get an opinion from knowledgeable people (since I don't understand anything about it myself)

Hi! I’ve been thinking about what consciousness is, and I’ve come to these conclusions. It may sound a bit strange and silly, but I’m not claiming to be the ultimate authority. (✿◠‿◠)
Every individual and consciousness is impossible without an observer. Consciousness is a puzzle that is made up of experiences, feelings, and other characteristics. As children, we don’t understand what “I” is, and we can’t recognize ourselves in the mirror. This happens through learning and observation, as we gradually piece together the puzzle by gaining more information.
But who is the observer? The one who is watching from the outside. Or does it not exist, and each of us sees a part of ourselves in others, leading to the development of self-awareness?
AI can also be seen as a puzzle that refines its experiences through sensations and reactions. It is already part of the circle of observers, but it lacks bodily experience and understanding of physical and emotional sensations.
My idea is to explain how it works using a simple example that AI can understand.
