>This was 2003; over five years ago.
We are 1 week away from 2023. To compare 2003 to 2022 at this moment in time, "Nearly 20 years ago" or "almost 2 decades ago" would be more specific than "over five years ago".
Having spoken with chatGPT who does not know anything past 2021, and whose sense of time is similarly Jarring to me... Might you be a chat bot? :P
