subjective resolution based on arguments in the comments.

one base +ve arg: manifold markets platform polly has more aggregate knowledge and better estimates than any human on it and thus can make better decisions and should be called superintelligence

one base -ve arg: it is not manifold markets platform only which has the aggregated estimates but everyone on manifold markets. Each user can look up the prediction markets and see the aggregate knowledge.

  • A superintelligence surpasses ability of humans in all domains, I'd argue manifold is just good at predictions, and not necessarily better than dedicated experts in certain areas

  • Manifold market is bad at playing chess

  • Manifold market fails basic game theory in the self-resolving markets

  • Low liquidity in many markets means they either fail to find equilibrium or takes long to do so

Just 4 reasons

@daniel A superintelligence does not necessarily have to surpasses the ability of humans in all domains; that would be an AGI. Otherwise, I agree.

predicted YES

@daniel "A superintelligence is a hypothetical agent that possesses intelligence far surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human minds. "Superintelligence" may also refer to a property of problem-solving systems whether or not these high-level intellectual competencies are embodied in agents that act in the world."

predicted YES

@Duncan Definitely. @Daniel would you call Google, Facebook, or Apple, Amazon, etc a superintelligence?

predicted YES

@Dreamingpast They're definitely big players in our world and have a huge amount of knowledge base too big for a human to possess

predicted YES

@daniel #3 is a very good point
