It's a shame nobody has thought about these sort of philosophical arguments before...
If you're referring to the Chinese Room, I don't personally find it to be a compelling argument against the hypothetical possibility of AGI. The proposed room has no way to store information, no way to incorporate that information into its system, and no way to initiate activity without external input.
Heck, now that I think about it, it's actually a pretty good description of the way LLMs actually work. But not the way an autonomous thinking agent works.
