I think it's pretty clear what "superintelligence" means, no?
Superintelligence: smarter than any human. AGI: as smart as an average human.
"As smart" means it can do anything a human can do.

Most people would object. But it is hard to argue against that on definitions. It usually ends up being “by superintelligence I meant the singularity.” Which really makes this a question about reality matching science fiction…
Ah, but “it can’t fold laundry” you say. When was the last time you heard someone non-ironically describe folding laundry as something requiring human-level intelligence?
You are hiding behind the ill defined term “smart” and performing the classic motte and bailey maneuver. If you honestly attempt to match “intelligence” or “smarter than” to its colloquial meaning of “being able to understand things, apply learned knowledge, and solve problems that require thinking” then yes, we have super intelligent AIs, and have had for many years.
Smarter how? Where? Computers are already smarter at math, physics, simulation, etc than humans
Generalized smarter? At what? Emotional intelligence? Self preservation? on and on
So it can get up and walk down the street?
Not trying to be pedantic, but when one is defining things, one needs to be precise.
Do you want a list of the kinds of afflictions that stunt these ?
For the ones that can't, they don't deserve to be called intelligent ?
What any of that has to do with intelligence is honestly beyond me.
99.9% percent of them are, and those that aren't would be considered malformed.

You haven't been paying attention to this thread, yet you reply to it? Please reread it, in particular the parent's argument I was responding to. Such context would be helpful to have when responding to me, yes?

Boston Dynamics’ Atlas it’s probably a more capable robot at the moment but Optimus will be much better position to act as an embodied agent in the next few years.
I can currently take an AI for a walk on my laptop, that's not the same as them being able to go for a walk.

This is far from the first of this class of LLM robots too https://tidybot.cs.princeton.edu/
Anyhow, it’s too late for “AGI” and “superintelligence”, aside from the baggage they also suffer from being in everyone’s domain to do with as they please. Precise terms inherently cannot be abused like this (compare “sore throat” to “acute viral laryngitis”).
