The popularity of Searle&#x27;s Chinese room argument has always bothered me. It&#x27;s not clear what he actually believes in. So the mind is not a computer, what is it then? Something with &quot;special causal powers&quot;? What does that mean...
And presupposing a rule book that passes the Turing test is of course a very dubious premise. I think arm chair philosophizing is ultimately cannot give use clear answers to questions like this.
