I think there are clues are pointing to the fact that quite a number of companies have already cracked artificial general super-intelligence but just not widely released yet. I would guess they're trying to develop products to release in tandem with the AI (wearables) and investing billions in additional compute so it can be scaled for widespread us.

In the short term, I think how it affects us, individually, will depend solely upon whether we choose to use it as a tool to enhance our own thinking abilities and skills or a crutch. As studies have shown, those who use it as a crutch will suffer in various ways, like cognitive decline. AI will invent so many different things that humans have been "stuck" on improving or didn't even know existed. We can't even predict how it will change the world—that's the exciting and the incredibly scary part of it all for me. I wouldn't be surprised if it discovers new branches of physics within the next couple of years that change our understanding of everything.
