There is no objective evidence consciousness exists as distinct from an information process.

There is no objective evidence of anything at all.

It all gets filtered through consciousness.

"Objectivity" really means a collection of organisms having (mostly) the same subjective experiences, and building the same models, given the same stimuli.

Given that less intelligent organisms build simpler models with poorer abstractions and less predictive power, it's very naive to assume that our model-making systems aren't similarly crippled in ways we can't understand.

Or imagine.
