She had that kind of conflict in the 1995 movie too. She worries if her memories are real or implants the police put in her to make her more easily controlled. The scene where she's wandering around the city silently is really good, because she spots a person through a window who looks exactly the same as she does. So there are other people with her very same mass produced body.
The 2017 character also seems to have this conflict, but strangely just accepts it and continues working for the cops. The 1995 character rejects her own identity and merged with the puppet master to become digital, because she was detached to the point of no longer trusting anyone except maybe Batou.
