Think of what it would take to produce a phone, for example. A single person could not possibly know enough to do so. Our cleverest work their whole lives just to know enough to design some small part. There's just too much to know, too much to orchestrate, coordinate. Even to build one, let alone a million.

Yet, a single corporation is intelligent enough to do this.

I think we already have achieved super-human intelligence.

Arguably, the ability to divide labour and ability is precisely human. That said yes, it is super-individual intelligence and it does scale incredibly well.
