Erwin Schroedinger himself wrote a beautiful essay "What is life" [1] where he addressed those topics.

What is the entropy at the core of a black hole, and would that mean that black holes are alive?
at the core seems ill described because black holes are regions of space not objects. even with that, assigning an entropy to some system doesn't make it alive.

living things consume energy to replicate. black holes dont do that.
