The consciousness problem is a tricky one, because unlike with most dilemmas, it's not that obvious on which side the burden of proof lies here.

Is the "consciousness is just computation" side obliged to prove HOW consciousness is generated out of computation alone? (Which they never do?)

Or are the opponents obliged to find the unique aspect that couldn't possibly be reduced to computation? (Which they never do either?)
