I went back and watched Avengers: Age of Ultron for the first time since it was originally released and for the first few scenes all I could focus on was how noticeable the cgi had become. I have vivid memories of being blown away by how realistic everything looked when I saw it years ago. As special effects technology improves, does that mean the way we recognize those effects also improve?

It’s because CGI gets better and better slowly so we don’t notice the change as much over time. Then when you look back at old stuff you have recent far superior CGI to compare to the less advanced stuff.
You don’t.
Most of the CGI goes unnoticed; many background settings, etc, are CGI but because you expect them to be there you don’t recognize it as CGI.
The things you see are the things that you don’t expect. Like some weird fancy futuristic armour, or some magic spell.
