Everything can be automated, just with lower quality, speed, and a high up front and ongoing cost.

But for a large segment of jobs, no one cares about quality. Speed can be increased by increasing the number of parallel automatons, thus cost. If you really want to get rid of all work, raise the minimum wage to $100/hour for one year. Don't tell anyone that it will only be a year. By the end of the year, almost every job will be automated.
