Probably a lot of quality assurance / inspection jobs to ensure the machines are creating things that are not dangerous. No matter how much we come to trust AI it’s likely humans will still have to do a final review on all outputs.

On the art thing, I think art is going to be one of the first jobs to go. The tech is getting very close already. Soon we will be able to write movies, create video games, generate art, etc by typing what we want. Eventually the typing part will go too, and the AI will learn via trial and error which creations get the most downloads, and will create what we want better than even we can.

For any scarce resources (ie waterfront property) these will probably be sold based on some types of currency which you can win via competitions (likely games), so those might be considered jobs to some degree.

This is likely to be the most true. Human value will likely mostly come from our ability to act as an adversary "AI." Like you said AI is already making great strides in the creative fields. I can see peoples 'jobs' being to tell their personalized AI that they liked a song, story or art created by it. Thust getting better at producing the personalized works in particular and creatives works in general.

The last true jobs will likely be in the fields that have the least data to build an AI on which is going to be hard to predict as everything becomes more data driven.

It's already funny to think that the creative fields were thought to be humanities last true bastion of excellency when its a data rich area perfect for AI.
