alt Hacker NewsIf people knew how to get AI to write terse, focused summaries, sure, that might help. I haven't seen many that do (well, ignoring the toupee fallacy).
Though the most important aspect is that we need to know the motivation and thought process, and all AI can do is fabricate a 'plausible' one.

I've found that the instructions "be extremely concise" gets me much closer to output that's actually sensible/helpful rather than another wall of text.

... then flooded maintainers would be doing it.
Reading AI PRs reminds me of Monty Python's holy grenade:
"And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
