I think that's a very generous use of the word "superintelligent". They aren't anything like what I associate with that word anyhow.

I also don't really think they are knowledge retrieval engines. I use them extensively in my daily work, for example to write emails and generate ideas. But when it comes to facts they are flaky at best. It's more of a free association game than knowledge retrieval IMO.
