We’re already in a stage where it can mean either 20 years ago or 120. I think this ambiguity clears over 3-5 years at which point only people 60+ in age will use it to mean start of the 20th century.

I would say about 50 years before we say that. Until then we will just say the year.

I don't think it will happen. We'll use something like "at the millennium" instead.

"Turn of this century" & "Turn of the last century" are phrases I find myself using.
