It reminds me of those who claim that the universe is God. Inasmuch as the universe is God, God becomes something fundamentally different and ultimately unremarkable. It is the deity's resemblance to human agents which provides the framework within which what God is and does is special. When you debase that resemblance toward describing the deity as merely the product of physical interactions, his morality and intentions disappear. In the same way, once you define everything as intelligent on account of physical interactions, it no longer can be said to necessarily possess the traits which make it valuable. Human intelligence can solve a wide variety of novel problems. That makes it valuable because it is useful. DNA, in its intelligence, not so much. You're effectively subtracting the characteristics of intelligence that make it valuable. Once you've done so, no longer is intelligence inherently valuable, it's no longer much of anything at all.
