> You get tired mentally (what you are specifically referring to)

I'd like to note that I intentionally did not use the word tiredness (as I specifically intended to not refer to tiredness) but instead explicitly referred to boredom, by which I mean the lack of novel stimuli of a tedious task and which is a term somewhat used in agent theory and is part of the explore-exploit tradeoff, where it carries a clear specific function for all agents (biological, mechanical, digital, imaginary) and decision theory optimization e.g. the "multi-armed bandit" opimization problem where if the agent benefits from not getting "stuck in a rut" repeating the same things (which applies for many real-world situations unless there is some "supervisor" handling that function for the agent) then you'd want that agent to implement a function which is closely analogous to human boredom, becoming progressively less satisfied with repetition without new information and seeking to do anything else to "prevent boredom" and "explore" new options even if that's not strictly locally optimal, in this manner potentially finding out a better local optimum and also changes in environment providing new opportunities.

And this is valid even in total absence of the concept of tiredness, which matters if and only if there is a real need for periodic downtime which an AI agent might not have, and for which the difference between tedious tasks and interesting tasks would not matter much.
