everyone (that I know of) agrees that functionalism is deeply unsatisfactory
I don’t. :) I see lots of free parameters for what flavor of functionalism to hold and how to rule on the Aaronson-type cases. But functionalism (perhaps combined with some other random criteria I might reserve the right to apply) perfectly captures my preferred way to think about consciousness.
I think what is unsatisfactory is that we still know so little about neuroscience and, among other things, what it looks like in the brain when we feel ourselves to have qualia.
