I don't think any of what you've written is wrong in terms of how to interpret it,

I just think the context has changed enough that it is more reasonable - whether you agree with them or not - for people to care whether computers think or not, whereas not long ago it would take bizarre misconceptions.

I would also agree that it ought to be pointless, incidentally.

I do find it fascinating to poke into the beliefs and assumptions surrounding it, though.
