> because they include aspects which resemble computers

Other way around, these computers we use resemble us (however not particularly closely) because we created them, not vice-versa.

If A resembles B, it’s implied that B resembles A—or at least that was the usage I intended.

The fact that we took inspiration from ourselves in developing computers only strengthens my original point.

Oh yeah, I wasn't disagreeing with you about the resemblance, just kind of pushing the "who-made-who" point.
