No, a computer can be made to appear spiteful and horny. Anything that seems more than this is projection.
It is crucial to note and remember this difference.
Yes, a computer can currently be made to appear spiteful and horny. But in theory (more than in practise currently) a computer can also be actually made spiteful and horny instead of just appearing like it.
Drawing an analogy: what are our brains if not a biochemical computer? Being horny or spiteful are then either emergent due to the computer's structure, or even directly encoded via its architecture.
A 'computer' is first and foremost a theoretical concept that can be realized in different ways. We already have built computers from various elements, not restricted to analog or digital ones. We have also made purely mechanical computers, we've incorporated biological elements into digital computers and biological computers are already a thing.
