My point is really that a lot of people thought we were eons away. "It was clear" to you, but your opinion was not shared by the majority probably until at least GPT-2 at the very earliest (2019). (Note that the sibling comment to yours still doesn't believe we are close...)
Similarly, today a lot of people think we are eons away from useful general purpose robots, but it is clear to me that they are coming soon.

That we'd beat the Turing test soon was a majoritarian opinion around here.
Honestly, I wasn't even that well informed to make my own. I kept postponing looking at the chatbots until after it was beat.
There has been some odd people fooled by computers since the 70s, and 10 years ago we had competitions where the best hint people claimed they had was if their interlocutors were good at math or not.
It was clear 10 years ago that the Turing test would be beat soon.
