Not everyone gets to do the fun stuff. That's for people higher up in the chain, with more connections, or something else. I like my paycheck, and you're supposing that AI isn't going to take that away, and that we'll get to live in a world where we all work on "fun stuff". That is a real pie-in-the-sky dream you have, and it simply isn't how the world works. Back in the real world, tech jobs are already scarce and there's a lot of people that would be happy to do the boring mundane stuff so they can feed their family.
