It may, actually, but we tend to believe there's some fundamental difference between the two. If so, we're talking about two ways to skin a cat. Why that would be a problem for evolutionary theory is anyone's guess. We've not heard any explanation for why. Humans and ants found different ways to communicate. Birds and bees found different ways to fly. Heterotrophs and autotrophs found different ways to supply their metabolism. Do these things also prove that evolutionary theory is false?
Personally, i think this one goes into the "not even wrong" category. It fails to rise to that level. More like a lazy anything at all will do approach to reaching a desired conclusion. It might actually be difficult to see what evolutionary utility consciousness and/or subjective experience provides if it were not for the plethora of other methods that life has arrived at to achieve what subjective experience(or whatever it is giving us that apprehension) does in humans. Positing a p-zombie or pointing to those examples doesn't do what the arguer wishes, rather, it accomplishes the opposite. Demonstrating that there are many ways to bake a cake, and that the baking of cakes by any means is one hell of a useful trick. Life may yet come up with even more efficient and powerful planners and guessers than the planners and guessers who use subjective experience(or, again, whatever it is) to do so. Conversely, our planning and guessing apparatus (whatever it is) may one day become a liability (if it hasn't already, lol).
