Chinese Room Lanz I 296
Chinese RoomVsComputer Model/VsSimulation as an explanation of skills. Chinese RoomVs computer model / VsSimulation as an explanation of capabilities: The thought experiment of the chinese room was developed by J. R. Searle to show that the mind or its activity cannot be simulated by a computer. Another consequence is that simulation cannot be used to explain (human) abilities.

Computer Model Rorty I 259
Vs Analogy Brain/Computer/Rorty: this Analogy is trivial, because a program only codifies a set of operations, and explains thinking as little as a set of logical formulas explains the laws of inference. A code adds nothing! (No additional insight). >Computation.
I 262
Rorty (referring to Dodwell): As long as we are at the level of subroutines, we cannot be attributed to specified intelligence and character. No more than the talk of "red sensations" determines the assumption of internally red entities. However, if we ascend to the hardware level, the anthropomorphism is no longer appropriate. >Computer model/Dodwell.
If we restricted ourselves to the hardware level, sensations would play no role anymore. Then, the computer analogy is no longer relevant, as little as with unicellular organisms. Complicated physiology arouses the need for psychology!
I 263
RortyVsComputer Model (Hardware/Software): depends on the choice of the level of abstraction
I 281
Question: how can the computer figure out that the current patterns flowing through the wire are the sum of the cash earnings of the day? ((s) This is determined only from the outside as an interpretation.) Rorty: it is not about studying the mode of operation at all. We will not clarify whether we should concede robots personal rights by better exploring how they work. >Robots.

VI 184f
Computer/Pragmatism: The question of whether computers have consciousness, which is so important for Searle and Thomas Nagel, does not even arise for pragmatism. >Artificial consciousness, >Pragmatism.
The only form to confront of the world is the same for people as for computers.
Cf. >Artificial Intelligence.

Computation Searle Vs Computation Lanz I 295
Computation/computer model of the mind/Lanz: thesis when a program contains the functional analysis of a psychological ability then the machine on which the program is running, owns this psychological ability. The standing behind the program functional analysis then explains what this ability is based on. (SearleVs). SearleVsComputer model/Lanz: E.g. speech understanding. >Chinese room. The rules for the passenger are such that the Chinese from the outside would get the impression that they led a normal conversation.
I 296
But: the successful imitation or simulation of a psychological ability is not a sufficient condition that the simulating machine has the simulated capacity, nor that an explanation of this psychological ability was given

Functionalism/Lanz: promises a way out by adopting a level of information processing, the causal and semantic elements 'somehow' integrated. SearleVsFunctionalism/Lanz: there is no explanatorily useful level between folk psychology and neurobiology. The speech of subpersonal cognitive processes is absurd. Cf. >functions.
