      You can’t prove a human isn’t a Chinese Room.

      Humans have emotions.

      So either Chinese Rooms can have emotions or we are unable to show whether Chinese Rooms have emotions.

      Either way, the Chinese Room isn’t enlightening on the question of AI suffering.

      Looking around, it seems we don’t know whether a Chinese Room can have emotions, which suggests that we don’t understand what it means to have a emotions.
