This is incredibly simplistic, like all kinds of analyses like this.
Anything that really requires a mind rather than a simple result of calculation or mechanical action will likely not be replaced without some big advance. More likely, we will just have better tools for certain jobs making them more higher level — it can let them get stuff done easier - so they can do more.
Will robots understand mood? Will they read body language, understand that dialated pupils to show happiness, or pin sized pupils to show "shutting out". Will robot tell mood in a voice that speaks fast, or sadness in a voice that has tones of sorrow? And will it tell hiccoughs from sobs.
There are things that only a human can do, because that human has empathy. Can you give empathy or kindness to a robot?
Are you sure?
