Computers lack creativity and many of the deductive reasoning skills we take for granted. Our brain is the most powerful computer based on biological neurons.

The power of computer processing is always increasing and that's why I am giving it a 50 year window to catchup to the human brain. Also, AI is based on distributed computing power, not just one computer

There is an interesting artcile on this topic

I am not arguing and agreeing with you that it will be a mix of activities that humans will still be better at than us. I am arguing that most of the activities we know today will be superceeded by robots. We will have to stretch our cognitive advantage to focus things that robots cannot do as easily.
It can be a big opportunity for us to improve.
