I'm talking more niche: topics where the amount of people in the world who know range from no more than 10,000 to under a dozen. Topics like, how to navigate a legacy system or bureaucracy (which may not be 100% public), dense academic subjects (especially recent ones), edge-cases in libraries and operating systems (ChatGPT is likely to miss anything unintuitive unless it's well-known). Maybe some topics with a wider audience are also protected from ChatGPT, but those definitely are. You can (or at least could before ChatGPT) definitely get a job just by knowing yacc, aria, Kubernetes, etc. which are certainly niche subjects. But you get a very high-paying job knowing how to write highly-optimized code for a specific type of hardware, how to implement a cutting-edge algorithm in <insert language>, how to integrate a badly-documented library filled with edge cases, or how to satisfy legal/government requirements. These are jobs which rely primarily on knowledge, and a tiny bit of putting pieces of knowledge together.
