Are these generated descriptions of LLM submitted changes or of human changes? If a human, shouldn't they be putting the motivation into the PR?

In my experience even before LLMs came along it was a matter of engineering culture how much a human put their motivations and rationales into why their diff came out the way it did.

LLM-generated (or at least LLM-assisted), but a human's still the one submitting the PR for review.

My company has an AI tool appending a summary after the human one. As far as I can tell, people aren't reading it.

If people create the PR using something like Claude, you get an AI summary after another AI summary.
