Yeah totally see where you're coming from, i seemed to have been slightly lazy with that commit... However, the tool does ensure that the dev has the final say; it will open the user's editor with the commit message that the ai has 'drafted' so the dev can make necessary changes - it provides a starting point that a dev can then tailor.

The problem with this is that it still biases people towards including useless fluff. I'd almost rather have no commit mesasge whatsoever (so I at least know there's nothing of value there) rather than having to read through paragraphs of text to determine that there was nothing useful to read. I'd much rather have a terse one line sumamry that includes the gist of the intent of the change than a bunch of waffle.
(I'd rather have 1-2 paragraphs of a well-written, accurate description of the content than any of that, but AI unfortunately isn't capable of that).
