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!

GPT-4 was released in March 2023, so it pretty clearly comes under the heading of “two or three years” ago. It’s only three months shy of its third birthday.

I see that 2023 LinkedIn has (deservedly) gone down your memory hole, but it is very easy to find innumerable examples of people saying this kind of thing:
