This is just a complete braindead commit. Without looking at the code I could probably take 5 minutes to make sense of the commit message, being intrigued something interesting or important is happening. The message is massively over the top, it has way more text then actual code changes. It wastes time.

I am not against AI as a helper in various places. But if possible it should be an opt-in tool if deemed useful. If someone wants to get a summary about a non trivial commit, that can be useful. Even better if the committer writes about the intentions and reasons for the commit, so an AI could match those with the actual code. Don't reiterate whats happening in a patch. Give the meta that isn't there or less obvious. Please.
