There are questions the Chinese Room can't answer
The Chinese Room can't answer questions about changing situations as the man in the room uses a fixed book of rules—e.g. it can't answer "what time is it?" or "what colour is this chip?". Yet this ability is part of ordinary linguistic competence.


Hanoch Ben-Yami, 1993.
