Section 1
The premise
An LLM reads commits since the last tag and drafts a categorized changelog (features, fixes, breaking) the release manager edits in minutes.
What AI does well here
- Group commits by type when conventional-commit prefixes exist
- Rephrase terse messages into user-facing language
- Flag breaking changes when keywords appear
What AI cannot do
- Know what is actually user-visible vs internal refactor
- Promise correctness of behavior claims without testing
- Detect breaking changes hidden in semantically-named commits
