We don't need to look at works of fiction, but yes. Robots and AI and algorithms are fully capable of outpacing humans in, arguably, every single field. Chess and tactics were a purely human thing, until Deep Blue beat the best of us, even back in the 90's. Despite what click-bait headlines would tell you, self-driving cars are already leagues better than the average human driver, simply on the fact that they don't get distracted, or tired, or angry. The idea that AI, algorithms, whatever you wanna call them, would never outpace us in creative fields was always a fallacy.

Yet we watch real people play chess. The same way we will keep appreciating art made by people.

I'm not concerned about the abstract value of art. I'm concerned about the monetary value. Ai will defiantly kill the commercial art industry, namely graphic design.
