''Time ago' display in Wordpress blog archive

I am attempting to change the standard Wordpress date published to 'time ago' in the blog archive, but leave the date display inside the single posts as normal.

I have found the following function from https://mekshq.com/change-wordpress-date-format-to-time-ago/ :

add_filter( 'get_the_date', 'meks_convert_to_time_ago', 10, 1 ); //override date display
add_filter( 'the_date', 'meks_convert_to_time_ago', 10, 1 ); //override date display
add_filter( 'get_the_time', 'meks_convert_to_time_ago', 10, 1 ); //override time display
add_filter( 'the_time', 'meks_convert_to_time_ago', 10, 1 ); //override time display

/* Callback function for post time and date filter hooks */
function meks_convert_to_time_ago( $orig_time ) {
    global $post;
    $orig_time = strtotime( $post->post_date ); 
    return human_time_diff( $orig_time, current_time( 'timestamp' ) ).' '.__( 'ago' );
}

Of course this function applies the 'time ago' change site-wide, I would like to understand how I can have this apply only in the blog archive list view, not the single posts.

Thankyou
