We can agree that what computers can do these days is quite different to human-style thinking.
But to imply what machines can do is somehow different from thinking, just as submarine propulsion is different from swimming, implies that thinking is different from computation.
Whether computation, a mechanical process, encompasses what we consider thinking is not a settled question, but I think there's a pretty good case for believing that computation does encompass thinking.
just as our sense of what swimming entails is wrongly constrained by our familiarity with specific implementations, beyond "moving about under water", we shouldn't limit "thinking" to mean "activity in a neural network", etc.
