Exactly. Also there are great number of possibilities that even the smartest persons could not even imagine, but powerful Superintelligence could.

Also there are great number of possibilities that even the smartest persons could not even imagine, but powerful Superintelligence could.

I think that, if you want to discuss the notion of the Superintelligent in any kind of a rational way, it is useful to make a distinction between "the Superintelligent can do things we can't", and "the Superintelligence is literally omnipotent". If the latter is true, then any meaningful discussion of it is impossible -- for the same set of reasons that meaningful discussion of the omni-everything Christian god is impossible.
