All jobs are thinking jobs, with varying degrees of physical effort. E.g. From A senator/congressman have to physically present in senate/congress, to argue/vote their case/bill (which comes from feedback from their followers, requires physical interaction) to bricklaying/road building/whatever you can imagine to lowest level. Some require more thinking and some less.

Impact seems unimaginable. May be we need an AI to AI all imaginable/unimaginable scenarios.

Honestly a congressperson seems easiest to replace with AI from your description. They have an absolutely tiny amount of physical presence with their voters... a burger flipper has far more.

Then you're completely missing the point on road building... This job is already super highly automated. 2000 years ago it took a Roman division to build a mile of road. Now it's just a few people and a lot of equipment that is getting more and more automated every year.
