Meh. AI conceptual work can be hard. But in reality, on any programming project where you're both the brains and the brawn, you're going to spend 90% of your time doing stupid stuff like writing hundreds of boring little subroutines; investigating different libraries, data sources, and data standards; figuring out which database software gives you the best performance; profiling and optimizing SQL queries; and of course DEBUGGING.
Not that my programs ever have bugs, of course.
If I had to guess, I'd guess that you're spending your time in Java or C (++|#) :)
