It seems to me like the Chinese Room Argument does not address the notion that in carrying out the algorithm, a possibility that the original author is instantiating a computational mind whose contents are inaccessible to the substrate hosting the mind. In other words, this argument falls because it does not resolve the hard problem of consciousness.
The pan-psychism argument is an interesting parallel to the Free Will Theorem. I am a bit wary of assuming of which side of the possibilities the outcome must fall.
