Someone in the chinese room would not know anything about their in- or output. Sure you memorized that a certain set of symbols means your output should contain another set of symbols, but what do you actually "know" about these symbols.

But you have no idea what it's about. Is it a greeting? A recipe for some pasta? Instructions to build a bomb? Could be anything.
