What you are referring to is Searle assertion that "because the Chinese room concept, I conclude that every future human-made systems will be a Chinese room and will never be 'intelligent'".

I think it is an important nuance.

You have to be careful when saying "Searle Chinese room" is dead wrong: the Chinese room concept in itself is useful and not controversial, and it is possible that current LLM are "Chinese rooms", and therefore not 'intelligent'.
