It really depends on how you define a machine.
A machine to me is a combination of elements that interact to perform some function.
Wether those elements are multifunctional doesn’t matter.
Also solid is not a requirement: ropes and pullies, expansion elements, self altering software: etc are all found in human made machines. And they are not solid.
I disagree with this video: life is based on molecular machines. It just happens that these machines are really complex and dynamic. But machines nonetheless.

Sure, and depending on how you define a computer program hamlet is a computer program, and depending on your definition of Christmas movie, Planet of the Apes is Christmas movie. The point is that for typical and sane definitions cells aren’t machines, hamlet isn’t a program and planet of the apes isn’t a Christmas movie (But Die Hard is).
