For me automating release notes is like recording an audio and play it each time you introduce your kid to somebody.

You worked hard you added all those new features and fixed several bugs and hopefully introduced no new ones, take the time and write the release notes yourself or with the team, make it a moment of celebration, read them and refine them (even with LLMs) but be proud of what you just accomplished.

For me writing release notes is a joy moment why should automate it?

I agree that the best quality notes are the ones hand written by a thoughtful human. In my case we had about two years of history with no curated notes, and writing that by hand would have meant significant time investment vs shipping fixes and features. The generator helped us get coverage fast, organized the notes chronologically and categorically. I specifically designed the generator with your your concern in mind, in that it preserves manual edits as well as omissions, so we can gradually curate it into something we are proud of.
