It's subjective experience. The colors you see, the sounds you hear, tastes, smell, pain, emotion, dreams, inner dialog. The philosophical word would be qualia.

I don't understand people who pretend to be p-zombies in these arguments.

Your definition is not useful enough. There are people missing any or all of those, and any or all of those can be approximated by a machine.

I'm not aware of anyone lacking all those experiences who isn't brain dead. What does approximating an experience by a machine mean? A chatbot can pretend to be cold. It can't actually feel cold as it has no body.
