Here is how I'm using it:

Do all the stuff you mention the old way. If I have a specific, crappy API that I have to deal with, I'll ask AI to generate the specific functionality I want with it (no more than a method or two). When it comes to testing, I'll write a few tests (some simple, some complicated) and then ask AI to generate a set of tests based on those examples. I then run and audit the tests to make sure they are sensible. I always end my prompts with "use the simplest, minimal code possible"

I am mostly keeping the joy of programming while still being more productive in areas I'm not great at (exhaustive testing, having patience with crappy APIs)

Not world changing, but it has increased my productivity I think.
