"but most work tasks I'm given are fairly boring"

Part of the joy of craft is the actual process of building a thing, even if the thing you're build is itself "boring". One of my clients right now is a React/Next.js app, which in terms of architecture I find deeply problematic (I tend to advocate vanilla JS, web components, close-to-browser-metal approaches, etc.)—but I still find ways to enjoy the work I do and furthermore I'm proud of the work that I do. I find it anathema that I'd offload any of that craft to a synthetic code text extruder.
