Superintelligence is more likely to exist as a Human add-on

What I mean by this is though it might be possible to make it a stand alone superintelligence in a military setting that it might be more profitable to have superintelligence be sort of an add on for an individual human being in the form of something like an Iphone or android. Smarphones are already the main way the world reaches the Internet, as emergency flashlights in the dark anywhere, as texting devices to reach people when phone contact won't go through because of distance from repeaters etc.

So, Superintelligence likely would function a lot more like a cell phone (as a communicator like in Star Trek) than as a stand alone robot which functions autonomously, except for military drones that are hunter seekers and becoming more common around the world.

I'm not sure how many people realize a military drone is capable of being given a target, then flying there from any location and executing a "kill command" from the moment it takes off by itself without ANY human contact at all. All it needs is a location to do the whole thing all by itself already.

Though we might not call this superintelligence it is still pretty scary when thought of this way.

Superintelligence would be a device that ordered all military drones on earth then to wipe out all cities on earth in this same context with no human help whatsoever. This may come too. This might happen one day too if people aren't more vigilant than they are now.
