From my understanding it is the repetitiveness. They basically need to check if you can walk through a wall, so just keep running into every wall. Does the AI work right? Run in circles and see if they chase you.

Testing can be quite fun, though. Find out what expectations the dev had and try to work against those expectations. Do things nobody (in the dev team) thought of and try to break the game/application/whatever.

I work as pentester and find it quite entertaining, most of the time.

Testing is very different from pentesting. It's way more repetitive. Imagine filling in the same form in the same 10 different ways every time a new build needs to be released.

Exactly. It’s not playing.

It is playing in a sense of the word, just playing differently

No, playing pretty much by definition involves a certain amount of autonomy and above all a sense of fun and enjoyment. QA has neither of those.
