That diagram has distances on a logarithmic scale, so given that it took 30-ish years to get to 100AU it'll take another 300-400 years to get to the cloud. It won't exit the cloud for for 250,000 years or such.

Humans will be the only ones to see voyager. We will most likely develop interstellar travel before that thing leaves the OORT cloud.

That might actually be true - and I'm saying that understanding how incredibly unlikely practical interstellar travel actually is.

It won’t be humans traveling between the stars. Rather, it will be the first non-biological species of A.I. The only way humans will ever see the Voyagers again is if A.I. catches them and brings them back to earth.
