The cell is probably the smallest system that can bootstrap universal intelligence. But it is insanely complicated. Our first AGIs will probably be structurally much simpler (but vastly larger) than a single cell.

What if cellular life is the result of intelligent design, by abiological intelligence, perhaps serving as the ideal von Neumann probe?

Yeah, but is the possibility of a spontaneous emergence of such an intelligence really that much greater than the possibility for cellular life?

Yes, that is the prevailing assumption. In fact, organisms like bacteria are extremely sophisticated. The CRISPR immune response system is a molecular computer with memory and pattern matching.
