lots of arguments against comp theory take some property of a computer and show that the brain does not have it, so one needs to clarify.

When you say a computer though you mean a PC? When I say computer I mean formalised definition of Turing Machine which is based on person.

i don't have a strong opinion on this, it's not my field, but does anyone argue that the brain works like a pc?

Yes, those who (in my opinion) want to strawman me/others who think like me. See for example Ray Tallis.

some revolves around "computers are modular, the brain is not modular, hence the brain is not a computer" kind of thing, that's a strawman

Also the brain is modular just not strictly so. We can V1 V1 for a reason, etc etc.
