What is the main argument of the Chinese Room Argument?

AnswerClick to flip back
A
A computer can never understand a language.
💡 Explanation:

Searle argues that even if a computer could pass the Turing test, it would not necessarily mean that the computer actually understands the language it is using. This is because the computer would simply be following a set of rules, and would not have any real understanding of the meaning of the words it is using.
