What I mean by that is that DNA and human-made software are objectively indistinguishable.

Only in a trivial sense is a DNA coding sequence coding for a protein similar to software.

DNA as a 3 dimensional structure with functions based on this structure and built-in redundancy and infidelity. The interpretation of the sequence is entirely dependent on its environment and never in a binary sense.

All software runs on hardware. DNA just runs on different hardware. As for it being 3-d...so what? Just more complex.
