All details are not created equal.

Some details are boring.

My AI dream (that I’m living happily) is getting to focus on the details that I find interesting and ignoring all the boilerplate details that modern software requires.

Boilerplate details mean we've failed as an industry. Why haven't we already got the computer to automate all the boring bits without AI?

You said what I was thinking. AI can do the things I always found mind numbing and tedious, but because I did it already early in my career, I know when to intervene because the agent is not doing it correctly. I think that is the OP's point.

So what? Jobs aren't supposed to be fun. Lots of people depend on those boring details.
