You can't put it anywhere on the diagram! That means it's just the whole thing.

EXACTLY!
So you get why the title was funny, then?
Because not only can you not make a robot that feels pain, you can't make a human that feels pain, because pain doesn't exist (eliminativist).
Or, you do what Chiro just said, make it the "whole thing". Where, when Dennett says he or others or soldiers are in pain, it refers to the process in this diagram.
But if you are reductionist now, then you can make a computer that feels pain.
