Adweite says mind is made of suksmam bute tan matra, which has the ability to reflect consciousness. If you could ever generate something like the mind in your laboratory, what will you be able to do? Reflect consciousness? Then you would have a sentient entity. But that sentient entity does not mean your produced consciousness - no more than the mirror produces the original face. Would that sentient entity be like us in principle? Yes. Why not? All right, question from the come, please. Come hamond.
