Wikipedia Chinese room. It's pretty airtight at the moment.
Chinese room is not at all airtight. We don't know what it means to have emotions so we can't prove a Chinese room can't have emotions.
Emotions? i was confident that the Wikipedia article alone would grant you understanding, and for that, I have replicated the very situation I wanted you to learn about. This situation is my fault.
This is not what the Chinese room is about.
