I have nothing to back this up with (just like Kurzweil.) but I have a gut feeling that if superhuman intelligence were to emerge, it would quickly become preoccupied with things only it can think about, and largely indifferent to the needs and concerns of normal humans. It may also become frustrated by not being able to explain things in a way that we understand, and may just give up on trying.
Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen, or The Powers in Vernor Vinges "A fire upon the deep" are what I'm thinking of.
