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

I don't think that Lead and Projectmanager will love to hear that. At all.

y’all need to speak for your own companies. obviously some companies will not allow it, and I’d be personally skeptical of allowing it if I ran a company - but I also work at a place that effectively has given a quiet go-ahead to use it, with objectively talented engineers regularly making use of LLMs for boilerplate and other aspects of work.

obviously, there’s some calculus on when to use it, and you better damn inspect your outputs, but treating as a blanket rule that OP is a terrible employee at their company when you don’t know the company is rude as hell and uncalled for.

I think a lot of people in this thread are just upset/projecting because this is the first real hint that they're not as much of a special-boy-programmer as they think. OP's use case is fairly limited in scope, using the LLM for something it is actually pretty good for, and never implied he doesn't check the output. They'll never admit it, and will deflect, but they're just worried.
