Realistically, we're 2.5 years into it at most.

No, the hype cycle started around 2019, slowly at first. The technology this is built with is more like 20 years old, so no, we are not 2.5 years at most really.
If you can quote anyone well-known saying we'd be replacing programmers in 6 months back in 2019, I'd be interested to read it.
Neural networks go back a lot further than 20 years ago. It was considered a research dead end for a long time though.
we're 2.5 years into the current hype trend, no way was this mainstream until at least 2022
GPT3 dropped in 2020. That's when it hit mainstream
