Where do you think that the concept of computation comes from? The entire idea of computers, and of algorithms that can be executed mechanically, came from an attempt to generalize what human reasoning is capable of proving and constructing.
Similarly, the concept of cybernetics predates the naming of the field by a few centuries, considering tools like eyeglasses, and possibly millennia, if we include dentures, canes, or wheelchairs.
While we're on analogies that irritate you but have reasonable historical and scientific contexts, I'd like to remind you of the idea of humans as colonies of trillions of cells. A human isn't one thing, but trillions of things, much smaller and more autonomous than one might think.
