I am looking for a list of PAID professions where replacement by AI is nonsensical, even if AI would be outperforming the corresponding human. Here are some for now I could come up with, so you see that there actually are some:

Athletes / professional players: intrinsically about human performance

Some artists: I believe some rich collectors will still pay a premium for “human made objects”, as they are artifacts with unique imperfections that showcase human ability similar to what athletes showcase.

Priests: Even if AI understands the Bible better and gives better speeches, I believe some people still will pay a premium for services like weddings and funerals due to respect for the dead person or their symbolic meaning.

Many CEOs / company owners: by the sheer fact that WE want to decide what AI does and not the other way round.
