The point of the Singularity is that it's a futurist prediction, and we all know how often people are wrong about the future.

Kurzweil’s predictions from 20, 30 years ago have been disturbingly on target and there is no clear reason why the current rate of progress will suddenly stop.

Umm, no I would not describe Ray Kurzweil's predictions as "disturbingly on target". Dan Luu checked everything and came up with 7% accuracy: https://danluu.com/futurist-predictions/.
There’s no reason to think AI won’t also take over all the parts you don’t find appealing, too. The whole point of the Singularity, is that no aspect of human work cannot be performed better by superhumanly intelligent machines.
