I'm reminded of my father in law, who when asked what superpower he'd want, it was flight, so he could get to work without waiting in traffic.

If all of your employees are AI's, clarity of vision trumps choosing boring. And if you're having boring visions... well the world is already full of competition for you, so good luck I guess.

That is tragically sad.

It’s easier to imagine a super power than the end of capitalism, apparently.

Boring isn't bad. Ideas are cheap: often the execution is what counts. Doing a boring thing to near-perfection looks like the Japanese Shinkansen trains that average 1.6 minutes of delay annually and have operated with zero fatal accidents over decades of service.
