1993. What I know about the 90s is what I learned about it once I achieved self-awareness well into the 2000s
Are... Are you an AI?
Rest assured, I am composed of flesh and blood. The same as you, fellow human!
The T-100 was flesh and blood too, so that's an evasion of the question.
They said they have self awareness.
So no, of course not.
You didn't gain self-awareness until after the age of SEVEN?! What the actual hell? Are you ok?
Most people have only vague memories before they're 5 or 6, so that's not so uncommon. I, an elder millennial, have lots of memories from before I was 6, but only because I have a big life event that happened when I was 6 that marked a "before time" and "after time" allowing me to easily place memories before or after the age of 6. All of my memories from the "before time" are vague and hard to place at specific ages except for a specific few that I can place due to houses I lived in at the time and what my parents told me.
I wouldn't say I wasn't self-aware in the "before time" but I definitely don't remember it as well as what came in the "after time". I'm sure that is what the above poster is referring to.
There are many full grown adults who aren't self aware.
December of 94 here, same. All of my memories of that time have nothing to do with the trappings/culture of the decade outside of my Disney VHS tapes and the bean bag chair I watched them in
