I'm not sure how excited and fulfilled one can be by doing a simple and repetitive task several hundred times a day.

I can't tell...are you talking about the jobs the robots will be doing, or playing Farmville?

Farmville is a good example of the kind of drudgery which robots should relieve us from.

I thought this was going to be a joke but, just like WoW and EVE mining, I see that it is actually happening: http://farmvillebot.net/ http://www.femfarmville.com/
