I don't think 2023 is going to be the year of "A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" from Diamond Age. If the vision is to use current models hooked into the more commonplace virtual assistants, wouldn't this exist already, just in a less popular form?
When it does happen, yes it will be revolutionary. It will probably be the year every school "flips the classroom,' to have a lot of learning take place at home, and have school be for socialization and assessment. It will be great to have queries beyond "What's the weather tomorrow?" or "Please turn off the lights." actually work, and be quicker than just picking up a device on your own. It will also be amazing to have capable first line help for basically any issue: mental health, physical health, home repair, etc. Even these kinds of assistants should reduce stress, and increase productivity for just about everyone.

Basically, or at least nearly. But in the grand scheme of things, most people don't know or care about it. Until our smartphones have them pre-installed, I don't think most people will take notice in a short enough timeframe to call it revolutionary toward society.
