When I read commit history I want to see the reasons. Commit messages are for extra context.

It's very useful if it says AI/LLM was used, then I know that there may not actually be a reason for the choice in the commit, so per Chesterton's fence I can then tear down that fence.

Now, do I need to know which brand of LLM? No. And fair enough, I'll stop being specific.
