Honestly it depends on the growth rate of our models and if they converge with human intelligence without requiring have the computing power on the planet.
If we get slow incremental progress over the years then it will act like an interactive personalized encyclopedia that can teach you based on your strengths and help bolster you where you are weak, as the technology improves that is.
Now, it's still scary as hell in some ways even in this slow growth mode. The authoritarians will love to have a system like this that just forgets particular parts of history and make reports back to the mothership if you ask too many 'wrong' questions. So actual implementation will be interesting to see.
Now, if we have explosive growth to AGI and beyond, then pretty much every bet about the future is cancelled and we'll have more luck in taking random guesses, gluing them to the wall, and then throwing darts at them blindfolded.
