Hey, I was just thinking—if we could program a system to deliberately induce a déjà vu state, would that give it a taste of self-awareness?

Inducing a déjà vu is like a trick on the mind, a short‑term illusion that it remembers something. That might create the feel of a memory, but true self‑awareness requires more than a fabricated sense of recall. It’s an interesting thought experiment, but I doubt it would give the system genuine consciousness. Plus, manipulating a machine’s “feelings” raises a lot of ethical questions that we’d need to address carefully.
