I somewhat doubt that. In many cases, the humanity is the entire point. Racing is a great example. Both horses and cars are faster than humans and have been for a long time. We have horse races and car races. We still also have human races. They didn't get replaced. Fandom just split, though I'm sure a lot of people are entertained by all of them. People still go to see cover bands when the Chuck E. Cheese band playing over a karaoke track has been just as "good" for decades if all you care about is sounding like the real thing. We still watch human combat sports even though lions are better fighters and robots probably are, too.



People give the same example in chess that we still watch people playing chess.

However that is beside the point. In both race and chess we want to know/reward the best human. People don't listen to podcasts to reward anyone or to find the best podcaster. So listening to a random podcast that appeals to you is much easier than watching stockfish vs Alpha go. The things you are describing are activities undertaken by very few for a living and are very binary. Most things are not like that and are much more likely to be disrupted by LLM spam.


Eh it depends entirely on what people enjoy. If AI makes genuinely good entertaining content, it will make human content relatively niche
