I think you're speeding past the word "average" in the sentence. I'd argue that current frontier models already exceed the abilities of average humans across the majority of tasks you can do on a computer, although you might be able to argue that they tend to be a bit slower?
That latter part is debatable though - have you seen a non-technical person try to figure out something new on a computer?
