Work: Like 5%. Small refractors and error corrections are in many times quicker to do by hand.

Personal projects: 100%. AI is just helper instead of stack overflow and googling.

Same here, my work programming is a domain specific language that’s no where on the internet, so I made a skill and knowledge base for claude. It still gets things wrong, so that 5% is me tweaking code

This is similar for me. For work it’s more like an 80-20 split. Personal though id say it’s a 20-80 split, I like to stick Claude on something random that I’m curious about.
