Concision is one of several virtues in documentation, and it trades off against thoroughness. I don't actually want to get to know the developer when I read a comment in some piece of code I am reading or editing, I want to as quickly and accurately as possible understand what I need to know about that code to make the changes I care about at that time.
Anyway I personally have asked LLMs to create more detailed TODO items for myself, on personal projects where I am the only human programmer who had laid eyes on the code. In fact, I do this frequently, including multiple times earlier today. So I don't take the idea seriously that using an LLM to generate a TODO comment is an inherently disrespectful thing to do.
