I'm just saying that "thinking" is a well-defined class of related things that only animals do.
I would argue expanding the definition to include the kind of things that semiconductors do really dilutes the meaning of "thinking" to be near meaningless.
Maybe to put it succinctly - no computer has ever done anything without a human input (even if it's millions of layers abstracted), but thinking just happens spontaneously.
If that's not a sufficient condition to differentiate 'thinking' from 'calculating,' then IDK what 'thinking' even means then.
