It writes more informative commits than I could ever make so I'm just reading what it says and mostly copy/pasting completely most of the time, I write all of the changes I've made into an LLM with a large context window and it write a very detailed commit not just with a title but with bullet points describing each of the changes precisely

it’d be interesting to see some examples of what your script came up with - I’m a bit skeptical of what an AI would come up with in terms of a commit message, and I’d think you’d need a pretty complex system to get commit messages to be maximally useful. I’ve found LLMs can stray towards being too high level and struggle if you ask more specific questions.

but I could also see it as being helpful for a sort of audit log for what changed, and I don’t think it would be too harmful, as long as you’re checking what the LLM is generating and making sure there’s corresponding code changes, that it’s not hallucinating etc.

hard to tell without examples - perhaps you could expand your post with some?

an aside, sorry you got such an overwhelmingly toxic response. the amount of angry people on this platform who feel the need to morally educate everyone around them objectively sucks and makes it a really unpleasant place to be.
