Barring global catastrophe resetting humanity's scientific and technological advancement, everything that can be automated will be automated. That's everything outside what could only be a niche market of "Certified Human-Produced".
Countering that, in a way, barring major sociocultural shifts, the elite require serfs, so whatever it is that serfs can be made to do which is somehow necessary for perpetuating the power/financial structures which prop up the elites will be "spared" somehow.
Your question seems to assume that there are some kind of practical human capabilities that cannot be automated. This is false.
