Well, there is even no plugin system. Not to mention a chatgpt plugin.

Not everything must be cluttered with halucination.

but surely having a commit message auto generated based on the code can only ever tell you what change was made - which anyone can tell from looking at the code anyway - and not why the change was made. So I am not convinced that ChatGPT can or should replace a proper human-thought commit message…

Absofuckinglutely not. I will delete Sublime Merge and never look back the second I detect any code-stealing, environment-destroying, amateur-code-spewing, slop-emitting con artist garbage fire products anywhere near it. Go make a LinkedIn post with a sixteen-fingered blue-and-teal robot on it with that shit and leave Sublime Merge alone.

G’day @softwareflow,

Thanks for sharing this detailed feedback - we really appreciate it!

From my perspective, this is definitely something that would be suited for a plugin once the plugin system is added to Sublime Merge. This would allow users to optionally enable this functionality.

Cheers,

Please, do not litter the code with AI-related “functionings”. Keep it lean and clean, as it is! Please.

Adding functionality not always ruin a software. Indeed almost anything could be an optional feature and no one have to worry about something is not active.
I love sublime merge just as it is … but I want more! Why not? Just don’t understand why people are sometimes so desperate against change.

Thanks,
Andrés

This isn’t about being against change.

This is about being against integrating unethical, climate-destroying, overhyped, underperforming Silicon Valley garbage into a tool that’s already great, thereby degrading it and sending it down a path to the landfill. This is about not jumping onto the latest bandwagon and adding features willy nilly every time there’s a new shiny toy.

It seems to me that when there’s a plugin system, then adding such things as plugins is the way to go.

Curious to know if there is indeed some work going on to bring plugin functionality to SM ? :slightly_smiling_face:
