It's weird because at the core there is a difference between a tape recorder repeating something and a toddler knowing something and saying it but if people can't understand that they don't get it about computers. So a lack of understanding human thinking beyond being able to tell them things.
Most people never actually develop a full or coherent theory of mind, so to them, the machine is not meaningfully different from other people.
It's weird for me bc my dad was a computer programmer and my mom a school psych. So I read some of her stuff growing up. Neither think a computer can 'think', but idk if my pov is influenced by that or doing deep dives into mommy Montessori stuff when my kid was younger.
If you define thinking in other people as what they give to you instead of a process they are experiencing as equally valid humans, it's just starting from a place that gets them thinking the computer is actually thinking
