> What I mean to say is that AI is insanely good at things that we humans would never do since the work would be too monotonous.

In my opinion AI is superior to humans when it comes to pattern recognition in in large amounts of data. For example humans can only hold like 7 distinct numbers in the short term memory and you would require extra context-management (aka writing things down, storing them in a system entry by entry) while the AI can do this effortlessly with huge datasets.

I'd argue this is the core part that enables all this superhuman intelligence.
