AI Verified Verified: the Edge.org source page contains the supplied wording, including “yes, I think that conscious AI is possible” and “We’re robots made of robots made of robots,” and the passage is explicitly attributed on-page to “Daniel C. Dennett”; the leading [...] is a faithful omission of surrounding text.
