Because the goal of "AI" is not to have fun, it's to solve problems and increase productivity. I have fun programming too, but you have to realize the world isn't optimizing make things more fun.

I hear you, but without any enjoyment in the process, quality and productivity go down the drain real fast.

The Ironies of Automation paper is something I mention a lot, the core thesis is that making humans review / rubber stamp automation reduces their work quality. People just aren't wired to do boring stuff well.

Enjoyment and rewards are the drivers for motivation.

		Yeah, though in my experience, reward alone is not enough.

Serious question: why not?

IMO it should be.

If "progress" is making us all more miserable, then what's the point? Shouldn't progress make us happier?

It feels like the endgame of AI is that the masses slave away for the profit of a few tech overlords.

		As a human, I do agree that it would be better and we should strive for that. However I don't think humans are really driving all this progress/innovation. It is just evolution keeping doing what it's always done, it is ruthless and does not care at all whether we are having fun or not.
