I don't doubt that the models have got better, but you can go back two or three years and find people saying the exact same stuff about the latest models back then.

I don't think that's true of three years ago - that's taking us back into GPT-3 territory.

And two years ago we were mostly still stuck with GPT-4 which had an 8,000 input context limit, very challenging to get real coding work done with that.

Easy enough to prove though, find some examples of people saying that 2-3 years ago and I shall concede the point!
