The "Chinese room" is the most influential argument about artificial intelligence in the 20th century. It states that regrouping of symbols any computer program is based on does not intrinsically lead to understanding. Imagine that a person is placed in a closed room and, using the instructions, they regroup the Chinese characters they received and pass these further out. But no matter how long they do this, they will not begin to understand Chinese, although a native speaker of Chinese outside the room, who transmits messages inside and receives answers to them, can think differently. Therefore, for understanding and perception, a correctly programmed machine is not enough. Some extra ingredient is required, which provides these properties.
