I'm usually pretty sceptical of this tech being capable of a net positive, but this seems like a pretty safe and suitable premise (as a writing aid)... Since you are only relying on the model for the language rather than a source of truth, instead the author can validate the correctness and adjust before pulling the trigger on the commit message.
The only place this falls down are for commits where the reasoning cannot be inferred and summarised from the code alone, or for reasons not apparent in the immediate code that require deeper understanding of the relationship between disparate code. The kind of information which is only in your brain, intent, these are the most important types of commit messages, and no language model is going to be able to help there... but for the rest, why not.
