Scientists: weird, we didn’t slip this piece of paper saying “mansplain the chinese room thought experiment” through the door, and yet that’s all the room seems to want to do. I guess we just have to conclude the room is an idiot?

    what an unnecessarily aggressive comment. mansplain? am i even responding to a woman? also i wasn't trying to explain it; i was saying the central question doesn't have to involve a specific language at all and it still a worthy question, especially with all this AI bullshit being pushed all over.

    Enter these into your data banks, you automaton:

    • The chinese room was brought up as a tangent to a tangent, why are you doubling down on mansplaining it?
    • nobody was even talking about whether or not it is a good or bad concept, we were just talking about the problematic dude that made it popular
    • you are in a space that is critical of AI. The chinese room was brought up by name. You think we don’t know what it is and that you need to explain it?
    • literally all you had to do to seem even remotely reasonable was to not try mansplain AGAIN and yet you did. I wrote what I said as a joke and you went ahead and turned it into prophecy. You buffoon!!!
