It will come to light sooner or later if the person in the Chinese room can only answer questions by looking at translation book. He cannot answer all questions correctly. Only after long-term practical use of Chinese can we establish correct complex associations and truly under- stand Chinese. So this thought experiment did not defeat the Turing test. True or false understanding can be measured by the Turing test. If someone in the Chinese room can really answer all the Chinese questions by looking at the translation book, we can think that he really understands Chinese.

There was a good comment on zhihu.com, “The Chinese House explains nothing but that there is no guarantee that anyone who looks smart and flexible (either a machine or human) is 100% conscious. I can use Chinese House logic to doubt that any people have ability to think, because there is no physiological evidence that his nerve activity is not mechanically retrieving a ready-made reaction, but these reactions just happen to correspond to reasonable answers. If anyone think the machine that pass the Turing test had no consciousness, he also had the reason of exactly the same intensity to question the unconsciousness of the human being in the test (control group). If he decides to ignore the possibility of the latter, this conclusion also supports him to ignore the former. In any case, the effectiveness of the Turing test is not reduced. The discussion of Daniel Dennett from another point of view achieves the same result.” “If the behavior cannot be used to test consciousness, how can you ensure that other people in reality are not naturally evolved zombies?” (Fu Tieqiang answered the Chinese room thought experiment is what? Is it successfully rejected the effectiveness of the Turing test? https://www.zhihu.com/question/39447528/ answer/237092278)
In short, understanding is association, association comes from conditional reflex, and the purpose of establi- shing conditional reflex is for practice. The learning process of artificial intelligence is based on the genetic algorithm of neural network programs, which is basically the same as the biological process of establishing conditional reflex. Association is the basic function of the computer. When machines can solve problems through conditional reflex and association, we can say that machines understand knowledge.

The essence of knowledge is the ability to change the world. When AlphaGo triumphs over man, no matter whether we admit it or not, it has a capacity to change the world beyond humans. It is a superfluous issue or scholastic issue whether the machine has knowledge and understand knowledge. It is people who are having trouble with themselves. No matter whether people recognize it, machines will surpass people and dominate the future world.
