Scholars debate whether the arrival of artificial superintelligence-a form of intelligence that significantly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in most domains-would bring positive or negative consequences. I argue that a third possibility is plausible yet generally overlooked: for several different reasons, an artificial superintelligence might "choose" to exert no appreciable effect on the status quo ante (the already existing collective superintelligence of commercial cyberspace). Building on scattered insights from web science, philosophy, and cognitive psychology, I elaborate and defend this argument in the context of current debates about the future of artificial intelligence.
