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

IMHO, the provided link is largely irrelevant to this topic. It is about lawyers who used ChatGPT as a search engine https://youtu.be/oqSYljRYDEM?t=1436, which is not what it is for, and it will tell you that over and over again. The lawyers in question were not even "trusting ChatGPT". They blatantly and actively disregarded ChatGPT telling them that it was not a search engine and could not provide legal advice https://youtu.be/oqSYljRYDEM?t=1466

This topic is about using LLMs to generate natural language describing code changes that it is provided with which is not only completely different than using an LLM as a defacto search engine, but it is also something LLMs are actually meant to do: autocomplete. This topic is more akin to using LLMs to write title headings for legal documents which are already basically complete as is than it is akin to the link provided.
