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

Im more in favour in writting "my" commit message myself and let LLMs refotmulate and make concise.

Precision > concision && accuracy > concision. Just use your own wording as the commit message. I'd rather see an account of a code change from the viewpoint of the change's author than a shorter reformulation, even if that reformulation did come from a human who knew the problem space and wasn't prone to making shit up on the fly.

The problem is people are lazy and most places I’ve been, peoeple make bad commit messages and often very non informative.
