I could say the same thing about the human brain. It's just a complex abacus.

One of the few things we know for certain about the human brain is it is nothing like a binary computer. Ask any neuroscientist and they will tell you we still have no idea how the brain works. The brain operates at a quantum level, manifested in mechanical, chemical, and electromagnetic characteristics, all at the same time. It is not a ball of transistors.
