Should we be making a distinction between sufficiently-intelligent and super-intelligent? It seems like the near term concern would be sufficiently-intelligent

Should we be making a distinction between sufficiently-intelligent and super-intelligent? It seems like the near term concern would be sufficiently-intelligent. We can all agree that marketing, while currently crude, does have an effect. Some people are more swayed than others by bought-and-paid-for messages. But right now mass-marketing is pretty lowest-common-denominator. What happens when it gets cheap enough to dedicate one-humanish-intelligence 24/7 dedicated to learning about how to influence you to buy or vote. Monitoring what you look at online, where you go, people you frequently engage with, etc., and customizing/"fabricating" interesting "news" to consume, etc.. And then what happens when it is a trivial cost to put 1,000 human-intelligences working against you?
