Let's be clear: behaving identically would include waxing eloquent about their internal experiences of music, art, etc. It would include showing evidence of depression when things don't go their way, evidence of happiness when they do, etc. Behaving identically would include talking about things like what they were thinking about yesterday and the beauty of a sunset.
Why would that *not* be evidence for consciousness?
Identical behavior doesn't mean identical subjective experience. If subjective experience is created by brain then it is likely that programmers will have to code additional layer of software that is responcible for artificial subjective experience in robots.

I disagree. If that identical behavior includes extensive descriptions of internal states, including their enjoyment of sunsets and the taste of apple pie, why is that NOT evidence that they do, in fact, have consciousness?

In near future robots will have behavior that is identical to humans without having consciousness. Subjective experience seems to be unnecessary.
Why would you think they would fail to have consciousness if they behave identically? I would argue the exact opposite: when they begin to behave identically, they have achieved consciousness.
