I think that just like there's tons of different kind of "superheroes" and nobody disputes whether they're genuinely deserving of the name or not, there could be many valid types of super intelligence.
If something is roughly as intelligent as a normal human expert in a given area, but 100 times faster, that would be a valid example of super intelligence.
I'm sure that by some definitions like this we've already discovered narrow super intelligence.
For example - breadth of knowledge. Is knowledge a kind of intelligence? If so then current agents absolutely have a breadth of knowledge which is superhuman.

Or you'd just be making the same mistakes experts do but at a 100x clip.
Tortious really does win the race, and there is no such thing as a free lunch.
It would be a super intelligence in terms of thinking speed, not necessarily be super intelligent, mind you.
