Why do we need anything close to superintelligence or "omniscience" (wtf) before we get profound changes to how humanity operates. It's really an obsession! Instead compare to the average human, at most. Compare to refrigeration? Compare to fire? Compare to computers? And that's even if the bar is placed at the singularity. Human progress as we have known it so far is not founded on superhumans but on a lot of work by a mix of merely visionary, hard working, and just plain average people. Just speeding that an order of magnitude changes everything.
