You may be confusing articulate and confident with useful and accurate.
They really aren't. AI commit messages are much more thorough and correct than some of the stuff I've seen humans do over the years e.g. Fix, Fixup, Fixed some Stuff, Should work now, Definitely should work now etc etc etc.
If you can’t tell how this is a non sequitur then it’s very likely you, too, confuse articulate and confident with useful and accurate.
I definitely prefer a "fixup" to a three paragraph meaningless word soup which doesn't cover why the commit is there either
Nah, most often they are just long-winded beatings around the bush.
Not really. In my experience, the average human written commit messages were almost always useless 1-3 word "Should work non" kind of messages. The agents had a low bar to clear.
Has it? Most of the LLM-generated commit messages and PR descriptions I read are needlessly verbose and miss the point: elucidating the why of a change rather than the what. If I actually pose a question based on them the author often tells me “yea that was some AI generated nonsense, I rewrote it now”.
