But you do have a different word for "think", right?

Google Translate shows multiple, but these three seem most applicable:

  ajatella: propose, consider, think about, weigh, cogitate, think
  miettiä: think about, think, consider, reflect, contemplate, ponder
  luulla: think, believe, suppose, imagine, expect, suspect

The difference between "think" and "compute" is the important distinction being made, and I tend to agree that moving the goal posts does nothing to help decide whether a computer is really capable of thought.

Yes, sure.
