First time I've come across the Chinese Room, but it's pretty obviously flawed. It's not hard to see that collectively the contents of the room may understand Chinese in both scenarios. The argument boils down to "it's not true understanding unless some component part understands it on its own" which is rubbish - you can't expect to still understand a language after removing part of your brain
Hah, tbh, I didn't realize it was originally formulated to argue against consciousness in the room. When I originally heard it it was presented as a proper thought problem with no "right" answer. So I honestly remembered it as a sort of illustration of the illusion that is consciousness. But it's been a while since I've discussed it with others, mostly I've just thought about it in the context of recent AI advancements.
