I'm looking for someone who said first that it's just a metaphor, and not a literal truth.""Also, it might be interesting to note that Turing was making the reverse metaphor in the 1940s and 50s: the computer is like a mind (rather than computer as a metaphor for mind)."A whole discussion on this association and where it might have originated.
