I’d love to see the authors of effusive praise of generative AI like this provide the proof of the unlimited powers of their tools in code. If GAI (or agents, or whatever comes next …) is so effective it should be quite simple to prove that by creating an AI only company and in short order producing huge amounts of serviceable code to do useful things. So far I’ve seen no sign of this, and the best use case seems to be generating text or artwork which fools humans into thinking it has coherent meaning as our minds love to fill gaps and spot patterns even where there are none. It’s also pretty good at reproducing things it has seen with variations - that can be useful.

So far in my experience watching small to medium sized companies try to use it for real work, it has been occasionally useful for exploring apis, odd bits of knowledge etc, but overall wasted more time than it has saved. I see very few signs of progress.

The time has come for llm users to put up or shut up - if it’s so great, stop telling us and show and use the code it generated on its own.

A "eulogy" is a speech you make at a funeral in honor of the dead person. I think you meant "apology".

While that is the most common sense of eulogy, it's not the only one. A eulogy is also any speech that highly praises someone or something - which is most commonly done at funerals, which is how the funeral association came about (also probably by association with an elegy, which is an etymologically unrelated word that refers to a Greek poem dedicated to someone who passed away).

In many romance languages, eulogy doesn't have the funeral connotation, only the high praise one - so the GP may be a native speaker of a romance language who didn't realize this meaning is less common in English.
