The SF types don’t understand the concept of qualia or why the machines definitionally can’t have it . Maybe because they lack qualia themselves

This is why it's a disaster that philosophy departments fucked teaching the Chinese Room argument for the last 40 years. It's a really good argument that most people have never heard because everyone just teaches the thought experiment. That's just axiom 3 in the full argument,
