As an Aspie, I like the fact that my computer is "stupid".
It understands my commands literally and executes them exactly the way I specified them, down to the last typo. It doesn't try to second-guess my intentions, read my body language, or do any of the thousand other things that neurotypical people do to drive me crazy. After a full, stressful day of interacting with people, interacting with the "stupid" Terminal is a breath of fresh air. I'm sure a lot of other autistic people like computers for the same reason.
If my computer ever began to interpret my words and actions like an actual specimen of homo sapiens does, I'd probably throw it on the ground and destroy it with a jackhammer. When I buy an Intel processor, it's because I want it to crunch numbers for me, not because I want a clone of that thing in the movie "Her".
