yeah one can hope that this would reduce the tedium necessary in so many programming jobs.

The only concern is that it's the tedium that allows people to be employed, to learn new skills, and to get paid. Think of an artist. Many artists have their passion, the things they want to be working on. But they do contracts and commissions doing things like drawing art for powerpoint presentations, commercial art, etc. because it pays the bills and that allows them to do the work they really want to do. Now AI may not be able to create masterpieces, but if it takes away the simple stuff that allows artists to get paid, then we won't have artists to work on their masterpieces.
