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.
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.
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.
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.
