> Why attach this to an IDE? I would think that simply letting an LLM control a terminal and make a commit would be the better approach.

This is a recipy for disaster imo, LLMs are not that good yet to give them the ability to act on their own

Depends on the model you use. The tiny quantized 7B models, yeah its like having a high functioning teenage intern...but there are bigger more sophisticated models...like Falcon 180B...you need hella RAM to run that bad boy though.
In thinking that of course you would review the commit and fix it if broken, you don't need to blindly trust it. The commit is just another way to see the code changes better
Let it work on a fork and see what it comes up with.
