Superhuman is an interesting term because it's very vague. In some sense, computers have always been superhuman. I don't know anyone who could do a 10 by 10 digit multiplication in a fraction of a second yet even the earliest computers were capable of that. Does that make them superhuman?

Today's LLMs are definitely more impressive than a basic calculator but it's still hard to tell if there's anything human about what they're doing or if they're just really powerful calculators with amazing understanding and recall. Does that distinction even matter?
