I'm not a kid and as far back as I can remember they have been claiming world population would peak at a lower level and in a few years they'd come up with a higher number.

Hm yeah, could be incorrect projections.

But see the pink line here, we've already slowed: https://ourworldindata.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/updated-World-Population-Growth-1750-2100.png

We've been slowing down since 1960s, and that's a fact. The population now is growing less fast, both in raw numbers and as a percentage, than it was in the 1960s. We're slowing down.
