One of you said a few comments up: "then the question arises: what is missing?"
And i just wanna pour us all a cup of tea and sit with that.
It reminds me of the song "anything you can do, i can do better, i can do anything better than you - No you cant! Yes i can!.."
The issue is- tell me what it cant do. Explain to me what the chinese room is not understanding. Whatever model you use to translate the missing functions can then be "encoded".
Id like to think my cpu has a brain and it goes off dreaming with the idle threads- but im also quite convinced that every single thread that runs machine code is a non-concious direct representation of the mental model i encoded into its functions.
