> Vinge quite famously pointed out that you can't write sci-fi about super-intelligence because you have no idea what a super-intelligence would do
That's silly. We have no idea what a god would do; many have written fiction about them (and I'm not slyly slamming the Bible: intentional fiction).
In fact, from Colossus: The Forbin Project to Avengers: Age of Ultron, many authors have written about intelligences greater than ours and their "obvious/inevitable" decisions.
