Why do people so desperately want to see AI succeed? The financial investment explains it for some.

Why do want a technology that's able to automate human drudgery? Feels like an absurd question.

It doesn't because we already know it doesn't because just like think about it and it clearly doesn't. So everyone trying to make the technology is a big dumb dumb for even trying.

Like is the conclusion we shouldn't even try? This kind of thinking ridiculous.

Same reason why we aren't looking for innovative ways of using sugary soft drinks as a building material. Just because there's a non-zero chance we could come up with something isn't compelling enough by itself.
