Sooner or later, it becomes non-optimal for a human (or an upload) to do ANY kind of work. I can't imagine anything, what could be only done by a human (or an upload).

If you want something to be done, there is an optimal set of algorithms which will do that the best. Having humans (or uploads) for doing it, is just a relict of the past, when it was the only way.
