I think that Illusionism and related philosophies will tend to be seen as "correct" once AI systems become more and more commonplace, and people will be forced to dismiss the whole concept of "consciousness" along with mind/body dualism in general as a massive category error that philosophers have been making since antiquity.
When you get down to it, philosophy of consciousness mostly exists because philosophers have assumed that because "mind", "soul", "consciousness" etc are nouns in our language, and that since nouns are "persons places and things" and mind is a noun, mind must be a thing, which is of course not how language works and not sound logic.
I believe I am conscious and that consciousness is a thing. I just don't believe there is a process where 'unconscious' things become conscious. So Panpsychism is a bit of a cope out. It's not a verifiable in any scientific sense and so can't be disproved. You could say that it's therefore a 'folk psychology' or a religious belief. But at the fundamentals of any word view (scientific or otherwise) are axiomatic beliefs or articles of faith and I think consciousness is best off living down there.
