How do you get away with tasks which you feel are boring, and ‘beneath you’

I don't know how much this is a case with SWEs, but most people I have met in AI are quite opiniated about what they consider to be 'boring work' which is for a lack of better word might be 'beneath them". Maybe that is some data cleaning work, or creating documentation, attending meetings, incremental finetunings etc etc While all they want to work on is interesting modelling work, and creating the next big thing?

How do you avoid being pigeon-holed into some boring but important work vs working on tasks which are really interesting but have been maybe assinged to someone else?

Also, is having a strong taste for problems a good thing for you career? Or feeling that any task being "beneath you" just a red flag for a professional?
