I can't tell if you're joking or serious; I hope it's the former. As an intern, my experience has been exactly the opposite--the first place I worked, I got a very interesting project with almost complete autonomy; the company where I work now I have been able to work on what I'm interested in as well.
One of the good things about working at a startup--even for an intern--is that there is always enough interesting work to go around.
I think interns in other fields actually do get to do things that nobody else wants to, which is why it could be unclear. I'm very happy that this is not how it works in software development.

Just a joke, but I'm probably going to get down-voted a million points. Oh well..
