I think by “things that require thinking” he means logical problems in well defined domains. Computers can solve logical puzzles much faster than humans, often through sheer brute force. From board games to scheduling to finding the shortest path.
Of course there are counter examples like theorem proving or computer programming. Though they are improving and starting to match humans at some tasks.
