A couple of options off the top of my head: art, research, athletics, the humanities

AI is already coming for "art" and "research" - by "slop metrics" it's already there for "art".

It's coming for the type of industrialised, commoditized art.

Then there's art where human touch is the crucial ingredients. The problem is that it doesn't sell as well, but that has never stopped any starving artist from creating.

If a computer being better than people at a thing made it not satisfying to do, then no one would enjoy doing anything AI/computers are already better than us at doing.

IOW why do people still love playing chess

I love playing the piano, but my skill is pretty low. If AI becomes better than me at piano, that's just one other person among millions who are better than me at piano; I couldn't care less.

meaning/satisfaction != advancing the absolute edges of human ability

if you have to be the best to be happy you're missing the point
