ELI5: The Chinese Room Thought Experiment.

Was playing "The Turing Test" lately, the game, by Square Enix,  and it keeps on mentioning about this "Chinese Room Thought Experiment".

Already done the Googling, but I still don't really understand it quite well.

Anyone could ELI5 about what is it and what does it do?

It addresses the question of whether a computer program which can carry on a conversation and pass the Turing test would actually be conscious and understand the conversation.

Suppose you are locked in a room where a chute delivers cards with Chinese characters on. You speak and read no Chinese, but you have a book of instructions where you can look up the symbols and pick a symbol to pass back through the chute. A Chinese speaker outside the room might pass you a question and receive a sensible answer, and believe that there's a Chinese speaker inside. But you still have no idea what they're asking or what you said, you're just following instructions.

If a computer program appears to us to be intelligent, is there a real intelligence inside the box or is the computer just shuffling cards with Chinese characters on?
