I've been thinking about jobs where you can't look up stuff - I can think of one category of jobs and that is jobs where split second decisions need to be made about complicated situations - rescue services, military, medical, pretty much any job where you have a real time, real life interaction with someone such as teaching or therapy. But you are right, that most jobs, people can look stuff up.

Also jobs with high consequences for failure. Sure, an AI might one day be able to fly a plane, but are people going to want to get on a plane where there's no human at the wheel? And what about doctors? An AI doctor could be hacked to change a prescription to a lethal dose in order to take out an important figure. Imagine, that could have happened to Trump's viagra pills and carotene injections. Would you accept a pill from an AI knowing that AIs sometimes make mistakes? I know humans make mistakes too, but we have systems for dealing with human mistakes and not AI mistakes.
