AI Verified ai_verified: The quoted words appear verbatim in the ZDoggMD transcript for “Why Machines Will Never Be Conscious (w/Federico Faggin),” dated April 7th, 2021, and are explicitly labeled as spoken by “Federico.” In the transcript: “...if all there was is a computer, classical computer, that computer could not be conscious, could not have an experience.” The lowercase opening is consistent because the quoted passage begins mid-sentence.
