The problem is that human cognition itself could be described as a Chinese room. We don't understand what understanding is, or what thinking is, what consciousness is, etc. So we can't adequately defend our own thought process as being any "better" than an AI except at a functional level, and AI's are quickly catching up to and even exceeding human functions, so the moat humans have drawn to defend themselves as exceptional beings is ever shrinking.
