I use the GitHub Desktop AI commit message generator, which is often better than a bullshit commit message, especially for small projects. It is often sufficient (though too verbose) for simple changes, but does regularly miss the point.
But I do agree that you want the commit message to encode your reasoning for the change.
If anybody who works on one of these commit message generators is around, some requests:
1. just allow it to take any existing commit message I've already written and expand it based on the diff. that will let me have a starting point or give a crappy but directionally accurate intention explanation
2. look at surrounding code agentically
3. make the commit messages shorter and less fluffy
