If you really think about it, a computer and a complex phenomenon that no one is even remotely close to understanding and is demonstrably not a computer is basically the same thing
Vulgar materialism may just be the ultimate brainworm. You think you're being smart by doing a lot of math because math usually is smart but you're not.
At least the other ideas had something elegant to them. Many things happen in cycles, metaphorically a wheel. Fire and heat are present in many things, and are essential to life. The world does work on systems all depending on each other and regularly repeating processes, like a clock. Computers are like the universe in the same way a drawing is like the universe.
Sorry if I worded the last part weird. I completely agree. I was saying the universe isn't meaningfully reflected or like the other things because it shows what you make it show only. It's like drawing a picture and then saying the whole world is the picture.

They were the “love is just chemicals” people 20 years ago and have decided to apply it to literally everything

You can make your calculator pass the turing test by making it spell "boobs".
