Nobody does this when people say their computer is "thinking" when it's running slow, I just don't see the necessity of pointing this out every time the topic is brought up.
Ideally people who say that aren't misled into believing their computer is thinking in the same way that a human is
Nobody thinks they are the same, some wonder if it can be made to do equivalent things. Nobody needs to hear that what they are doing isn't thought for the same reason nobody needs to hear that my computer isn't actually thinking when it's running slow.
