Same.  It has already worked out quite well for me on exactly these axes.  My day to day has got generally more fun, but it hasn't been obvious how to make that happen.

Many of my brethren have RA's for some of this, but they're slow, expensive, and unreliable. Plus, most of us don't want to be managing people. Just stick us in a quiet room for a while and let us cook.

do you have to do this yourself at the moment or are there appointed research slaves to handle it?

What job/s would you happily see gone to AI?

I would love to see the busy work from my field go to AI: finding references, summarizing findings, writing abstracts, data processing, etc. The fun parts of research are thinking up research questions, figuring out how to go about answering them, and explaining how to interpret the findings. A lot of the rest is pretty tedious.
