Seems like cells then need some type message-response mechanism. It could be that there's an incidental minmax game happening at a cellular level, leading to types of intelligence that we don't understand at all but maybe can be modeled.

I think this creates incredible disruption opportunities for drugs and healthcare if AI can augment the intelligence of a cell in the long term.
