This seems to me to be its strength, a multiplier to human intelligence. The way a smart phone is today, but more so. Once this matures, every human with access will be so much more capable than any single human in the 90s that they would seem beyond genius to us back then. Already someone with a phone in their pocket can stop to watch a couple instructional videos and accomplish tasks that would preciously involved training courses. That may seem trivial to those who didn't have to hunt through card catalogs and outdated encyclopedias for every scrap pf knowledge, but it is a huge deal.
