I suspect, rather strongly, that what really specifically wears programmers down is boilerplate.

AI is addressing that problem extremely well, but by putting up with it rather than actually solving it.

I don't want the boilerplate to be necessary in the first place.

Or, for me, yak shaving. I start a project with enthusiasm and then 8 hours later I'm debugging an nginx config file or something rather than working on the core project. AI gets a lot of that out of the way if you let it, and you can at least let it grind on that stuff while you think about other things.

For me, the yak shaving is the part where I get the next project idea...
