The problem with the Chinese Room formulation is there are arguments against the near term possibility of autonomous vehicles that go "It's the same as AGI." In other words, a "Chinese Room" driver is not good enough.
What the Chinese Room may really be telling us is that machine consciousness might be as far from us as usable ML was to 1970's AI researchers, or at least much farther than we think. And, on top of that, if and when it does appear, it won't look human. It won't even look like an animal because it isn't one.
