Quoting Kenton Varda

Kenton Varda declared a moratorium on AI-written change descriptions for his team, citing that AI-generated PR and commit messages omit higher-level context needed for code review.

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.
