Look up “hard problem of consciousness” and you’ll see why this doesn’t really work. Firstly, we don’t actually know wether anyone other than yourself is conscious. Also “extending” consciousness wouldn’t confirm that a machine is conscious. Certain parts of the human body such as the nervous system can “extend” our consciousness but this doesn’t mean they are conscious by themselves.
