Thanks for the insightful replies, a lot of it makes sense to me. I agree that such an intelligence would be basically an illusion. Not only in terms of the entire creation, but as Minyatur is saying, there's the Chinese room paradox too. I think mainly what I find interesting is that the occurence of such a powerful machine at this point in time seems like it could have big potential for a global shift in consciousness.
