I can't comment on cleaning toilets as a job (luckily I don't have to do that), but cleaning at home does provide a sense of accomplishment similar to solving a coding task elegantly and cleanly, while uninvolved AI-assisted coding is more like up and down voting or liking posts in algo feeds. Not fully like that of course, but it's a step towards that kind of "I like this part, I don't like that part" feedback-giving that can leave me depleted/drained. Coding before AI was more like when you feel one with the machine, like when you drive your car on autopilot, and with AI it's like sitting in the passenger seat like a driving instructor saying how to go about the driving. You do t quite know what it will answer, maybe it will push back on your idea when unnecessary and then I have to expend effort in arguing in text in a chatbox with a machine, or it goes forward too easily without asking clarifying questions or pushing back when what I ask collides with previous things. Many programmers get depleted in meetings and in language-based argumentation and charge up with the more puzzlesolving-like flow state, but this AI wrangling is often more like team meetings.
