Or do they have a sophisticated system for parsing the language and an internal lexicon of Chinese words? Don't they just have a set of instructions for speaking Chinese, just in their memories and speech centers rather than a filing cabinet. If the expirement proves that an AI doesn't actually speak Chinese because it is just using an internal set of instructions to do so, how is a Chinese speaker any different?
