Is the Scrabble world champion (Nigel Richards) an example of the Searle's Chinese room
I'm currently in my undergraduate degree and I have been studying AI ethics under one of my professors for a while. I always have been a partisan of Searle's strong AI and I never really found the chinese room argument compelling.
Personally I found that the systems argument against the chinese room to make a lot of sense. My first time reading "Minds, Brains, and Programs" I thought Searle's rebuttal was not very well structured and I found it a little logically incorrect. He mentions that if you take away the room and allow the person to internalize all the things inside the system, that he still will not have understanding--and that no part of the system can have understanding since he is the entire system.
I always was confused on why he cannot have understanding, since I imagine this kind of language theatrics is very similar to how we communicate; I couldn't understand how this means artificial intelligence cannot have true understanding.
Now on another read I was able to draw some parallels to Nigel Richards--the man who won the french scrabble championship by memorizing the french dictionary. I havent seen anyone talk about this online so I just want to propose a few questi
If we’re being honest, this feels more about execution than intent That’s what changes the context. Interested to see the follow-up. That’s just my read on it.
this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s where people will push back Curious how this plays out. At least from my perspective.
From a neutral view, the way this is presented changes how it lands which makes the reaction pretty predictable Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.
this feels like a half-step, not a full move so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what makes this interesting. That’s the impression it gives me.
this comes across more reactive than planned which is why this is getting picked apart Time will tell. Others will probably see it differently.
Real talk, this reads stronger on paper than in practice This could age very differently in a week. That’s the impression it gives me.

Not gonna lie, the timing matters more than people admit That’s what changes the context. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

From a practical angle, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where it gets complicated That’s just how it reads to me.
