@valyala If they were good descriptions/commit messages it would be ok~ish. Usually I refer to this as if they were written by "Capt'n Obvious" they don't say why a given change was done, they make a textual equivalent to the diff (best case).

I feel the same. Histrically software engineers weren't good in writing good commit titles and descriptions. So typical commit titles were "WIP", "fix", "refactor", "chore", etc. Now I see detailed commit titles and very long commit messages with many points, which describe all the changes made by the commit. The problem is that these new titles and messages are mostly useless (and even harmful) because of the reasons outlined by Kenton below. Make an effort and write good concise commit title and description by hand. If you cannot do this, then it is better to use "WIP" title instead of AI-generated misleading slop.

I just declared a moratorium against AI-written change descriptions (e.g. PR and commit messages, also issues/tickets) from my team. AI was writing change descriptions that were worse than useless to me as I tried to review PRs: outlining details of the code that could easily be seen by looking at the code, but omitting the higher-level framing needed to understand broadly what the code is doing. I think people like having AI write these things because the output looks structured and thorough, which makes it feel professional in a way. But this isn't actually valuable. Concise, high-level descriptions are better for everyone. If I need to use my own AI to interpret what your AI wrote then something is wrong. Let AI write code, sure, but for the description, I'd rather see your prompt than your output. We could maybe have extended agents.md with guidelines on writing descriptions, but this seemed a bit pointless since a good, concise change description only takes a few minutes to write -- not a significant time savings to delegate to AI. At least, it doesn't take long if you understand the code -- and if you don't understand the code, then I'm definitely not merging it.

I've noticed a tendency recently where some products _highlight_ that the core of a post is now ai generated. Seems tailored to _brag_ on how well their AI integration/product is. If you didn't bother to write it, why should I put time into reading it in the first place?

For some, this means nothing. For others, a lot. The whirring of the hard drive, the simple "beep" - two sounds forever etched into my brain; 12 seconds of time travel.
