  In the sense that the “argument” is an intuition pump. As an anti ai argument it’s weak - you could replace the operator in the Chinese room with an operator in an individual neuron and conclude that our brains don’t know anything, either

    Exactly. The brain is analogous to the room, not the person in it. Try removing a chunk of a brain and see how well it can “understand”
