shame to see a company that was originally targeting a niche (devs that care enough to pay for a tool for stacked diffs) do a complete 180 to chase the AI bag. i have to imagine the overlap between the original users and ones interested in 'graphite chat' is miniscule.
One key way I use JetBrains AI or any LLM is to ask it what's wrong with my code, and get some insightful remarks that make reasonable suggestions. I havent used it to do PRs yet, since my employer has not invested in such tools, but I imagine it would help to catch big issues that we might miss and approve.

I've been using it internally for the past few weeks (employee at Graphite).
It's really nice! I normally do the same thing as you. You basically get to save the copy/paste and context-switch. The changes it suggests can be integrated into the PR immediately... it works pretty well! Especially in collaboration with Diamond.
The automatically-provided Diamond comments -> chat "plz fix this" pipeline is really productive.
for anyone that's looking for a no-fluff stacked diff tool to replace Graphite, i've found https://abhinav.github.io/git-spice/ to be solid
