Superhuman AI sounds like an oxymoron
It's accurate, though.
If you want to interpret it like that, every useful invention made by humans is superhuman.
Look at that superhuman wrench!
I think it's fair. An excavator gives us superhuman strength, a train gives us superhuman speed and this system gives us a superhuman ability to spot heart disease. And a wrench gives us superhuman bolt-tightening abilities lol.
Though calling it a "superhuman AI" implies it being better than humans in general, which is definitely not the case (just like with your wrench), so the headline is definitely not accurate and intuitive either.
My superhuman car is faster than me
You aren't capable of doing what your car does, though.
moving from one place to another? Yes, I am capable of that. Transporting some object while moving? I am also capable of that. Yet my car can move faster than me and carry more than me. Therefore it has superhuman transportation capability.
Is your car also superhorse?
Sounds like Marvel to me.
