What jobs will AI never replace?

I won't say there's something it can't ever replace because I think in decades from now we'll see more mechanical robots that have full dexterity and capabilities.
I enjoy the idea of an AI that can 3D print its own physical components and hook into sustainable energy sources to be self sufficient, kind of adapting itself over time.
Obviously very controversial and dangerous, but i do not think there's anything I can say AI will NEVER replace. But for the time being, for decades, lets say plumbing, electrical work, pet care, and similar hands on jobs that are less repeatable.

I definitely agree with electricians and heating engineers/plumbers but my real worry is the creative arts which AI has already started to plunder and regurgitate.
Here in the UK we would welcome it. Even a packet of fish sticks would be better than what we currently have to put up with right now.
That would be a nightmare! Remember when AI said eating rocks was nutritional?
That's probably how the nation would be ran if it was ran by AI. Things would go all haywire for sure. Honestly I can't see AI fully taking payment processing, which is what I do. There are special rules when it comes to us processing checks on our Falcon machines, and there needs to be someone physically processing things. Computers glitch out and AI is no exception to that.I already replied but agree with others. Plumbers and electricians often deal with home-specific setups and fixes. This makes it harder for AI to function well when there are a high number of variables for types of pipes or wires, length, angles, state-specific regulations or laws, and of course... the homeowner's budget
AI will struggle to replace jobs built on deep human trust, moral judgment, and real-world presence. Roles like therapists, caregivers, teachers, community leaders, negotiators, artists, and ethical decision-makers rely on empathy, context, and accountability. These jobs aren’t just about tasks, they’re about relationships and responsibility.
Probably doctors, nurses, therapists. Medical field stuff. I think....
