But that's equally useful as saying that we're Turing machines? Yes, if you draw a broad category of "all things that compute in our universe" then you can make a reasonable (but disputable!) argument that both me and a Python interpreter are in the same category of things. That doesn't mean that a Python interpreter is smart/sentient/will solve climate change/whatever Sammy Boi wants to claim this week.

Or, to use a different analogy, it's like saying "we're all just cosmic energy, bro". Yes we are, pass the joint already and stop trying to raise billions of dollars for your energy woodchipper.
